"Well... You're right. I can't fix that." Jeffrey sprawled on the couch, his lips curling into a wry smile.

"Seriously, the way Dorothy speaks and acts, it's downright hurtful. If I were Everett, I'd have thrown in the towel ages ago wouldn't have waited until now!" Karen's eyes turned into slits of disapproval upon hearing him criticize her best friend. "What did you just say?" "Truth hurts, doesn't it?" Jeffrey felt compelled to speak up for his buddy. "Con, tellwhere Everett has ever done Dorothy wrong? Sure, he was sneaky, not exactly upfront about marrying Dorothy, and yes, he used the fact that Dorothy's mom needed money for medical bills. But once he won her over, he treated her like a freaking treasure! Have you ever seen someone as rich as him grovel for a woman's affection like that?" Jeffrey was flabbergasted, to say the least. He'd watched Everett morph from a cold and aloof blue-blooded gentleman into Dorothy's devoted little lapdog! "I—uh," Karen started but couldn't quite pin down any faults in Everett.

Jeffrey crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow at her. "Go on, I'm all ears." "He wants to marry Dorothy but can't handle his own parents. Isn't that on him?" "That doesn't mean he's mistreated her, does it? His parents aren't him. Who can control others? Can you dictate your own parents' actions? Besides, Dorothy's been safe all these years. Who do you think the Lopez elders are wary of? Dorothy? They're scared of Everett turning his back on them!" Jeffrey spread his hands in exasperation. "Anything else?" "She shouldn't have been dragged into this in the first place," said Karen.

"Now you're just being unreasonable," he countered.

Fuming, Karen grabbed a throw pillow and chucked it at him. "Look at you, Jeffrey! Arguing back atnow, huh? For every word I say, you've got ten ready!" Jeffrey caught the pillow smoothly, letting out a sigh. "I can give in on other things, but when it comes to Everett, I won't let the blfall solely on him. He's not just a friend to me; he's a brother, and he saved my life!" Without Everett pulling him back from the brink tand again, having his back, and solving his problems, Jeffrey had no clue where he'd be today! Back in the day, Jeffrey's reckless lifestyle had made him no shortage of enemies. With his parents overseas, only scolding and preaching, he never listened! Then, that one time, his loose lips got him tied up and taken to the shore, nearly tossed into the sea. It was Everett who cpersonally to the rescue, taking him back and smoothing everything over. From then on, Jeffrey knew Everett was the brother he'd choose for life.

Karen cocked her foot. "So tell me, who's more important to you,or Everett?" That was a no-win question! "You're hesitating?" Karen pressed.
