Throughout the meal, Dorothy had half a mind to ask him what the hell he meant by what he just said. But in the end, she kept it
all bottled up inside.
Right now she should be going all out to find evidence, not getting distracted by these wild thoughts.
After dinner, Everett got dragged away by a phone call
But before that, he made sure to drop Dorothy back at Karen’s place. However, like a broken record, he repeated that she had to

“Uh–huh, but work’s been crazy, so I haven’t had a chance to come and see you
Bella chuckled. “You do your thing. If you don’t have time, there’s no need to come see me. I’m still kicking!”

After all, they share the came father. There should be some similarities, right?
“Do they even match? Hal”
Dorothy knew she wouldn’t get anything else out of her mom, and she didn’t want to arouse suspicion, so she dropped it
“Mom, you get well. I’ve got things to do.”
