Dorothy tilted her head back to look at Everett, a mix of curiosity and challenge in her eyes.

"Do you... want to tell me?" Everett's lips curled into a half-smile, but he didn't say a word. Instead, he took her hand in his and, with a deft flick of his wrist, unbuttoned his shirt to reveal a string of tattooed numbers across his chest. Then, he placed her palm over the inked skin.
