"...I'll go make the toast first, make sure you come back soon."

"Sure."

Dorothy waved her hand, watching as Everett took his leave, vanishing from her sight.

At that moment, Jonathan chuckled softly, "My son, he's truly head over heels for you." "Everett has been very kind to me." Dorothy stood there, proper and a bit uncomfortable.

I knew early on that Everett's mom wasn't exactly the saint she was made out to be, aware of the unsavory things she did in secret. But because she was the woman I chose as my wife, I always ended up covering for her, letting her have her way as long as she was happy."
