FreeNovelEverett, determined to maintain his composure, headed straight to the shower the moment he entered the guest
room. He needed to cool down, both physically and mentally, fearing he might lose his calm demeanor around
Dorothy.
Dorothy, true to her word, remained absolutely silent. She didn't make a sound, going so far as to mute her
phone early on. She knew Everett wanted peace and quiet, and she was determined to give it to him to avoid
giving him any reason to send her out of the room.
After his shower, Everett, while drying his hair, naturally glanced at the lump under the bed covers. Was she
asleep? He paused, then walked over to check. Dorothy appeared to be sleeping, and that was a relief for him. It

After changing into his pajamas, Everett had just settled into bed when he felt a small hand tentatively touch
him. In the dimly lit room, he could almost feel Dorothy's gaze on him. She didn't say a word, just placed a hand
on his waist, not daring to cany closer.

Eventually, he couldn't take it anymore.
"Can't you just sleep?" he blurted out.
Dorothy, startled, responded, "I didn't make a sound. Am | still bothering you?"
Silence.
"Alright, I'll sleep now," she said hurriedly, unsure if he was annoyed since she couldn't see his expression, and
promptly closed her eyes. But sleep was far from her. Her eyes were shut, but her ears were keenly tuned to
Everett's increasingly heavy breathing, which indicated discomfort like he was unwell.
Carefully, Dorothy reached out to touch Everett. His skin felt warm.
"Everett... are you running a fever?"
"Just sleep," he replied.
