"You just don't get it, do you? Jeffrey and Heather have been thick as thieves for years. Maybe for him, getting stabbed in the back by a close buddy is a deep wound. And just as it's starting to heal, you're all set to rip it open again." Karen's eyes widened in disbelief, "And Heather is skind of saint? Please! Jeffrey nearly lost his life over her!" Dorothy sighed, a look of resignation on her face, "You're just too blunt, Karen. I try to explain, but it's like talking to a brick wall." "Well, I guess I just don't get it!" Karen leaned back into the couch, her gaze drifting to the laptop still running on the coffee table, "Hey, what are you up to over there?" "I'm checking out commercial buildings in Eldorria City. Thinking of starting my own investment bank." "You? A boss lady?" Dorothy just smiled and shrugged, "What, don't I look the part?" "Absolutely you do!" Karen jumped up, clapping her hands enthusiastically, "Letthink, what role could I play? How about I be your secretary? I'll be in charge of morale!" "So, anyone who doesn't agree with our terms gets an earful from you?" "... Am I really that hot-headed?" Karen couldn't help but laugh at herself, "Is that really me?" Dorothy walked over and patted her on the shoulder, "Karen, I think you're perfect just the way you are. No holding back, just saying it like it is! There was a twhen I was really jealous of you, able to be so unapologetically yourself." And she envied the love and care Karen received from her parents.

At one point, Dorothy even thought, if she could be reborn, she'd wish to be Karen, no matter what the circumstances. At least she'd have parents who adored her the way Karen's did.

"And what about now? Still jealous?" Karen tilted her head, looking at her.

Dorothy paused, then smiled softly, "I've got someone who dotes onnow. No need to be jealous anymore." "Who? Everett?" "Who else?" "You two... made up?" Karen had been on pins and needles ever since she got wind of the whole mess.

To think they had moved past it! Dorothy nodded, sharing a bit of the story, then cautioned Karen, "Just, don't tell anyone else yet, okay? I don't want Quincy catching wind of it. It might mess with Everett's plan. He knows what he's doing. I trust him and can't think of a better solution. We'll just follow his lead." "Got it." Karen nodded seriously, "Don't worry, I won't breathe a word! But you two..." She trailed off, struggling to find the right words.

"We'll make it through to see the light at the end of the tunnel. We will." "Absolutely! You and Everett have been through so much together et Nothing and no one should br you apart now!" To most people, promises of undying love are just words.

But Everett has proven tand om again that he means what he says.

Under such circumstances, it seems only death could part them.

Dorothy smiled softly, her eyelashes fluttering down, "Karen, sometimes I wonder... if I were less sensitive, less ме stubborn and headstrong, maybe Everett wouldn't have to suffer so much. Maybe life wouldn't be so hard for him." X
