Quincy felt like she was veering off the planned course of her life. Deep down, she knew things were spiraling out of control, but... it felt like there was nothing she could do about it. She couldn't move forward, yet there was no turning back either.

After diving back into the workforce, Dorothy felt like she'd found her calling. It gave her a reason to get out of bed every morning and push through the day. Sure, sitting through endless meetings was draining, but there was a silver lining. The exhaustion helped her sleep soundly at night.

Knowing Everett was swamped with work, Dorothy planned on hailing a cab back to Bay Residence after her team wrapped up for the day. But as soon as she stepped out of the office, she saw him. His presence was like a lighthouse in her life, signaling the direction she needed to go.

"Everett." She approached him and gently touched his shoulder. Everett naturally took her hand. "Abigail and Langston's school had a late release today. Do we head straight back to Bay Residence, or do we sneak in a date?" A date.

The word felt somewhat foreign between Everett and Dorothy.

"Let's go on a date," Dorothy chose without hesitation.

"Alright." Everett led the way, with Dorothy closely following. While they were waiting for the elevator, Dorothy suddenly remembered Quincy's tweet and brought it up.

"You have Dr. Quincy's number, right?" "No, I deleted it," Everett didn't lie. He had it once but had since gotten rid of it.

"Oh." Dorothy wasn't surprised by his action. "Then you didn't see? Dr. Quincy tweeted today that she might be getting married." Everett stiffened for a moment. Dorothy felt the hand holding hers tighten.

"What's wrong?" "Nothing." "It seems like Dr. Quincy's marriage news... bothers you?" Everett pressed his lips together, "I'm not close with her." "So, you don't know who she's marrying?" Dorothy raised an eyebrow. "Didn't your dad once want you to marry her? Has he given up on that idea?" Otherwise, why would Quincy suddenly announce her marriage? "I won't marry her." Everett's voice was cold emotionless. Since Dorothy was quite shorter, she didn't notice his uneasy expressiomas long as she didn't look up. "I know you won't marry her! I was just asking, no other reason." Just when Dorothy thought the topic was about to pass, Everett, stepping off the elevator, suddenly asked, "That Quincy, besides mentioning getting married, did she say anything else?" "Nope, no pictures, just a few words." Dorothy looked up at him, teasingly saying, "The person she's talking about marrying isn't you, right?" Everett didn't respond, causing Dorothy's previously cheerful face to freeze.

"Dr. Quincy, she wants to marry you?" "It's none of my business, and I don't want to know." "She wants to marry you, and it's none of your business?" Dorothy recalled what Quincy had told her back in Swevia Country, wishing for a man as devoted as Everett. She couldn't possibly have failed to find someone else and set her sights on Everett, could she? "Everett, tellthe truth, what exactly happened between you and Dr. Quincy? It feels like there's something off with both of you."
