Dorothy tilted her head back to look at Everett, a mix of curiosity and challenge in her eyes.
"Do you... want to tell me?" Everett's lips curled into a half-smile, but he didn't say a word. Instead, he took her hand in his and, with a deft flick of his wrist, unbuttoned his shirt to reveal a string of tattooed numbers across his chest. Then, he placed her palm over the inked skin.
Dorothy was confused.
"Get the message?" Dorothy's eyes widened in disbelief. "You actually went and!" "Good thing you didn't get my letter back then or agree to anything. Otherwise...

"Why be shy with me?" "I don't want to hear any of your raunchy talk. I'm tired, and I want to sleep." Setting aside the towel, Everett scooped Dorothy up with one arm.
