"Don't worry! I won't let your stuff get messed up on my watch."

But...

Jeff could already foresee the moment Karen found out Everett had "ditched" Dorothy, he'd be caught in the middle, squished like a sandwich!

She'd spend the day ripping into him, finding fault in everything about him!

Watching Everett walk inside, Jeff finally headed back to his car.

Thinking about all this mess, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his buddy.

Sometimes, Jeff felt both sympathy and frustration!

Out of all the women, Everett had to fall hard for the most complicated one! If it were any other girl, Everett wouldn't have to be so proactive, treading on eggshells; he could just snap his fingers, and women would be throwing themselves at him!

But then again...

Maybe it was Dorothy's cool demeanor that Everett fell for, or perhaps her background, her story, that made him feel protective. With anyone else, he probably wouldn't have cared as much.

Just like himself.

Surrounded by women, yet he ended up falling for Karen, who wasn't particularly outstanding in any way.

"Ah, it's all fate!"

Without any clue about Everett's whereabouts, Dorothy felt like a small boat adrift at sea, aimless and soulless.
