"No matter who comes around, I'm always gonna be Abigail and Langston's dad."
"..."
He was right, and Dorothy knew it. There was no coming back from that statement.
"You haven't answered my question, got any plans tonight?" Everett seemed almost too eager to find out, as if it was his mission.
He was curious.
Well, she didn't feel like satisfying his curiosity!
"That's my own business as a single woman," she retorted, ready to walk away, but Everett suddenly grabbed her wrist, holding it tight.
"You got a date?"
"Everett, let go!"
His hand was slightly damp and cool from washing the dishes, an unexpected reminder of their once shared domestic life. Dorothy had intended to set clear boundaries, to stop herself from harboring any more illusions. Yet, she hadn't anticipated such a strong reaction from him.
"Who are you seeing? Karen?"
"Do I only have Karen as a friend?" Dorothy snapped back, even though she knew the remark lacked bite. After all, Karen really was her only female friend. "But I have guy friends too!"
At this, Everett's expression visibly darkened.
"Guy friends? Kenneth?"
"He's not the only one."
"Dorothy!" Everett's tone cooled several degrees. "You better be careful with your words."
Dorothy tried to shake off his grip, growing more frustrated when she couldn't. Her temper flared.
"Everett, you should really check yourself! We're over, and the only reason I let you in today was for the kids! You've had your dinner, now it's time for you to leave and stop meddling in my personal life!"
"You don't need to know. And what right do you have to ask, anyway?"
"...As their father!"
"Fine, you're Abigail and Langston's dad. To me, that makes you an ex at best. We're divorced, Everett. You're my ex-husband! What right do you have to meddle in your ex-wife's personal life?"
Even Everett had to admit he was out of line.
But he couldn't help himself.
"How can I not have a right? The kids are with you. What if you bring some guy home and it affects them? I have to know who he is!"
"..."
"Dorothy, I've entrusted you with Abigail and Langston. You can't just recklessly decide on a stepdad for them!"
Hearing these words come out of Everett's mouth was almost unbelievable to Dorothy.

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
