"Dorothy, aren't you worried that Everett might actually...you know, with Quincy?" Karen hesitated but felt it was necessary to voice her concern. "What if Quincy insists, and Everett goes behind your back? You'd be none the wiser." "I trust him, really, it's not a concern."

Thinking of Everett, Dorothy couldn't help but smile. "Unless he gets over his germophobia, even with a gun to his head... I doubt he'd say yes."

Everett was notoriously hard to deal with, after all!
