"Any other ideas? I'm not ready to settle down this early..." "Nope, this is it!" Jeffrey had been eager to make things official, and this little mishap seemed like an assist in his favor! At his words, Karen couldn't help but let a few tears slip out.

Jeffrey's anxious expression morphed into an even brighter smile, "Deal! I'll call them right now!" After wandering all the spots they wanted to visit in Snowfall City, Everett and Dorothy had Kevin book their return flight.
Dorothy was mindful that Everett had a pile of work waiting for him back in Eldorria City. He couldn't shirk his corporate duties entirely to keep her company, after all.
Having seen the highlights of Snowfall City, including Central Street and the majestic cathedral, Dorothy felt content.
She carefully packed all the souvenirs she bought in Snowfall City into her suitcase.
Everett watched her with a hint of a smile, "You know, I could buy you heaps of these." "But souvenirs are special because of the memories attached to them. If you just swampwith them, they lose their sentimental value." "So, will you think ofwhen you look at them?" Dorothy laughed, a bit exasperated, “Oh, there's plenty that remindsof you." It wasn't just the trinkets from Snowfall City, was it? Everett stepped closer, wrapping his arms around her, "Have you missedthese past four years?" "Guess it yourself." "I bet you did," Everett grinned. "Otherwise, why haven't you dated anyone else?" Dorothy looked up at him, "How can you be so sure?" "I just know." Everett's certainty was unshakeable.

Jeffrey had suggested countless times that Everett should reveal m everything he'd done for Dorothy, claiming it would help win her back. But Everett never even entertained the thought. He knew it wouldn't work.
If he barged into her world as a dominant presence, Dorothy would probably run for the hills, not give a second thought to any supposed romantic feelings.
"So why the heck are you so set on cracking this tough nut?" Dorothy sometimes wondered if Everett's patience would have made any other woman fall in love by now. "Because I only want you. No one else can take your place."
"Everett, you know about my family background. Sometimes, I get so frustrated with my own personality, but can't help it! There's just so much that I'm afraid of, so many things beyond my control that I obsess over." Everett took her hand and placed it in his, "As long as you don't let go of me, I'll always stand by your side."
