[Karen's folks gave us their blessing.

[Of course! You and Everett better be there, and Abigail and Langston are definitely going to be our ring bearer and flower girl.] [Sure thing. I wouldn't miss Karen's big day for the world.] Dorothy's eyes lingered on "Everett" for a beat too long.

Well, might as well go with it.
After all, the days of Everett and her hanging out with Abigail and Langston were numbered. If he got a girlfriend, or heaven forbid, a wife, then their days of making public appearances together were really done.
The mood at the fourth project team's office was unusually upbeat, probably because everyone was looking forward to the long weekend. Everyone was head down and hard at work.

As soon as the clock signaled the end of the day, she hadn't even shut down her computer when cheers erupted from outside.

Dorothy knew Austin was trying to smooth things over between Ophelia and her That was why teen he strategically seated the girl next to her. It didn't bother Dorothy, though. Petty office politics were never her thing.
spe "Here's to you, Ms. Sanchez. I insist on a toast!" "I really shouldn't-" But Austin had already raised his glass, and her refusal was half out before el swallowed it back down, "Alright!
