She replied in such a way that Jeffrey was totally thrown off his game.

"You know about it?"

"Yeah, he told me. Dr. Quincy has been by his side... looking after him. Everett's dad and the Caldwell family go way back, and his mom was quite fond of Quincy too."

It seemed like, maybe Quincy was indeed better suited to be with Everett at this time.

Jeffrey furrowed his brow, driving in silence for a while before he couldn't help but ask again.

"Don't you ever suspect something between Everett and Dr. Quincy...?"

Dorothy shook her head, "No, I don't."

"Why not?"

"Because I know Everett's heart is with me," Dorothy lowered her lashes, her voice soft, "Everett and his mom had their differences, which were profound. I understand why he's hesitant to see me now, at a time when he's lost someone so close."

But it's okay. He'll come to accept his mother's passing, just like I had to.

Once everything settles, Dorothy believed he would still be the Everett who loved her.
