FreeNovel"Huh? What's so strange about it?" Dorothy pondered for a moment. Describing her feelings was quite a challenge.
After all, he had addressed all her concerns, and he didn't seem secretive when taking Quincy's calls.
"Gut feeling," Dorothy replied.
Karen chuckled, "Dorothy, it's not that Everett is acting strange. Once you've fallen for him and given yourself to him completely, you start to worry about losing him."
