Dorothy was gently helped down by Everett, his voice cool as he pointed to a nearby bench, "Sit there. I'll watch the kids." "Okay, sure." She nodded and took a seat on the bench.

I need to show the girls so we can all swoon together!" "Swooning is overrated. You should go get his digits after.” "Why don't you go?" "You're the pretty one!
