"You have my number," Quincy offered, genuine concern in her voice. "If you need help with anything, just givea call." She could feel Quincy's kindness wrapping around her like a warm blanket.
"Thanks, I appreciate it," Dorothy replied with a nod before turning to leave.

Dorothy shook her head. "I want you to accept, and then give Everett a chance to earn your trust." What she couldn't provide, she hoped someone else might.
Quincy chuckled and waved her off. "I'm still rooting for you two to patch things up until your mother's nis cleared, and you let go of your bitterness." The day Dorothy returned to Eldorria City, the skies opened up and wept with her.

"Dorothy!" Upon spotting her, Karen dashed through the rain, enveloping Dorothy in a tight embrace.
At the airport, where most reunions were marked by smiles, there stood Karen, her sobs cutting through the air, drawing curious glances from passersby.
"Seeinggets you this worked up?" Karen nodded vigorously, her eyes brimming with tears.
With a sigh, Dorothy took her hand and they made their way out. "Or is it that you've got spent-up grievances and needed a good cry?" Karen was caught off guard, her face a mix of emotions. "How do you always getso well?" "After all these years, when have I seen you cry like this?" Dorothy's voice softened as she patted Karen's hand. "Have you made up your mind?" "Mhm," cKaren's muffled response.
The rain was relentless, but fortunately, Karen had driven Derek's car, sparing them from the downpour. Once inside the vehicle, Dorothy noticed Karen's reddened eyes and frowned slightly.

"Let's not go there. It's over between us," Karen said as she started the car, taking a deep breath before continuing. "And you can't tell Kenneth about this — that's why I calone." Dorothy was puzzled.
"Jeffrey has a daughter, with his ex-girlfriend." The revelation hit Dorothy like a ton of bricks.
"Right? Shocking, isn't it? How can I stay with Jeffrey now? Marry him and beca stepmom I'm not that open".Dorothy was stunned, her open and mind racing to catch up with the sudden turn of events.
"Did he tell you himself? Because he never mentioned it when he was courting you! Even Everett didn't spill the beans about Jeffrey having a kid!" "It's also news to Jeffrey. His ex kept it a secret from him." As Karen spoke, it seemed as if she was recounting someone else's story, not her own. She had cried enough; any more and it would just seem like she couldn't move on.
"So that's what happened. I was wondering you two were talking about getting engaged, and then suddenly you split "to just that." Karen seized the moment at a red light to turn to Dorothy, taking her hand firmly. "Dorothy, I have something important to do. Will you be there for me? And don't tell a soul!" Looking into her eyes, an idea dawned on Dorothy. "You're... pregnant, aren't you?"
