At that moment, Dorothy almost wanted to laugh.

A few years back, she was the one who had said, "Let's get a divorce."

And now, years later, it was he who uttered the words "let's break up."

Indeed.

It was a breakup, not a divorce.

She hadn't remarried Everett, nor had he taken her back. Between Everett and Dorothy, there was no marital bond.

"What else could it be?"

"Is there... any other reason?"

Everett frowned, "Just say what you want to say."
