Everett shot an instinctive look to Dorothy upon hearing the proposition.

Dorothy’s petite face had gone a shade paler, a forced calm painted over her features while her lashes fluttered like the wings of a trapped butterfly. It took her several seconds to nod in agreement, “Okay, I’ll go.”

“If you don’t want to go alone, I can come with you,” Kenneth offered gently.
