Karen caught Dorothy's glance lingering on Jeffrey and didn't think much of it before blurting out, "I don't know what's gotten into him. The moment he heard you were coming over, he just had to be here! I told him to stay home with our daughter, but he wouldn't have it."

"I'm okay, not in pain, just feeling weak and unable to walk," Kenneth responded with a gentle and warm smile. He always had the utmost patience and a smile for Dorothy.
