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

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.
