When Everett looked at Dorothy again, his eyes were filled with seriousness and remorse.

"I keep thinking about those four years... how desperate you must have felt, how you managed to get through each day and night all on your own."

Carrying the weight of raising two kids, along with the hatred from her mother.

Dorothy was never one to take things lightly. Fragile and sensitive, that was more her speed.

Everett couldn't bear to dig deeper or investigate further! He was afraid he wouldn't be able to face her.

"No matter how tough it was, it's all in the past now. I believe there's no one in the world happier than me!" Having been married to him for decades, Dorothy knew all too well the guilt that lived in his heart.

Even though the journey had its bumps, a happy ending was all that mattered.

Everett hesitated before asking.

"I do regret something."

Dorothy playfully teased, a rare mischievous glint in her eyes, "What if I had given up trying and just said yes to you back then? What would have happened?" Everett thought for a moment, "Abigail and Langston, they'd probably be ten years older than they are now."
