Everett also wrapped his arm around her with a charming grin, “Langston, haven't I told you before? There will never be a stepmom in your life. Let's drop that word, okay?” Dorothy glanced at Everett. He didn’t meet her eyes, but he could feel those astonished beams boring into him.

Dorothy expected Jeffrey to seat the kids next to herself and Everett, but instead—Abigail and Langston, along with Karen and Jeffrey, ended up in one row! She and Everett were assigned seats together in the row behind.

If you and Everett stick around, I won't get my practice in, so go ahead.” Jeffrey too shooed them away before Dorothy could say a word, “Karen and I can totally handle the little rascals!
