Kevin shook his head urgently. "Just, don't tell Mr. Turner, okay?"

"Oh fine, I'll just spill it to his wife, then."

..Actually, maybe you should just tell Mr. Turner! I've met his other half, and believe me, if she starts on me, I wouldn't stand a chance in a war of words."

Dorothy had genuinely wanted to stand up for her friend Karen, to put in a good word for her.

But then!

As the words came to her lips, she realized she didn't have much to defend!

Karen's sharp tongue was legendary. She could keep hurling insults even when faced with Heather, who was nothing short of a living nightmare. Who could possibly tame her? Together, Kevin and Dorothy's efforts wouldn't even come close.

"Though, she probably won't scold you. She might actually grill Jeffrey seriously, asking if there's anything going on between him and Everett."

Their conversation filled the car ride, and soon, they were back at Bay Residence.

Standing at the doorstep once more, Dorothy couldn't help but reflect.
