Dorothy exhaled slowly, her voice soft, "Everett, next time you get sick, tell Kevin not to call me, okay?"

"It's okay, just give him the message."

She glanced at her phone for the time.

"You're leaving?"

Everett picked up on her cue instantly.

"Yeah." Dorothy stood up, "Take care of yourself. The doctor said it wasn't serious, so it's probably just exhaustion. Try to get some rest."

She never imagined that one day she'd be having such an indifferent conversation with Everett.

Just... like any other acquaintance.

"Alright."

Everett didn't try to keep her there.

The longer she stayed, the harder it was for him to keep up the facade. He needed to exercise some restraint.
