Karen waved goodbye to Dorothy until she was out of sight, then turned back towards the house.

Inside, Jeffrey had just finished tucking their daughter into bed and came out to the living room, raising an eyebrow at his wife, "Was that Dorothy who dropped by?" "Yeah, but she's gone now."

Jeffrey, oblivious to the gravity of the situation, shrugged and chuckled, "That Dorothy, she's really Everett's darling, isn't she? Every time she visits us, Everett has to shoot me a text to check in." "Well, these are unusual times. Having Everett keeping an eye out does put my mind at ease."

Karen felt somewhat helpless at the moment.

"Just relax at home and wait for our good news! Even if something were to happen to Everett, Dorothy will be fine. Don't worry."

"Okay."

Karen nodded, choosing not to tell Jeffrey about the location Kenneth had sent her.
