Dorothy had made herself clear - it was time for Everett to leave, but he just couldn't bring himself to walk away.

He didn't know when he'd get another chance to see her again.

"Abigail and Langston... they'll be back soon. Let me see them before I go."

"See them some other time. Today, I need to talk to them alone."

Dorothy wished for nothing more than to get Everett out of the house as soon as possible. If he stayed any longer, she feared she might not be able to let him go, might even beg him to stay...

If it weren't for Quincy standing between them, Dorothy wouldn't have agreed to the breakup so readily. She would have been just like Everett, pleading for him to reconsider. But that was only if there was no third party involved.

"Oh, I forgot, this is your house. So, I'll leave. You stay and see the kids, and I'll come back after you're gone."
