Karen waved goodbye to Dorothy until she was out of sight, then turned back towards the house.
Inside, Jeffrey had just finished tucking their daughter into bed and came out to the living room, raising an eyebrow at his wife, “Was that Dorothy who dropped by?”
“Yeah, but she’s gone now.”
Jeffrey, oblivious to the gravity of the situation, shrugged and chuckled, “That Dorothy, she’s really Everett’s darling, isn’t she? Every time she visits us, Everett has to shoot me a text to check in.”
“Well, these are unusual times. Having Everett keeping an eye out does put my mind at ease.”
Karen felt somewhat helpless at the moment.
Being pregnant meant she had to sit out on a lot of things.
“Just relax at home and wait for our good news! Even if something were to happen to Everett, Dorothy will be fine. Don’t worry.”
“Okay.”
Karen nodded, choosing not to tell Jeffrey about the location Kenneth had sent her.
Since Dorothy said she’d discuss it with Everett, Karen decided to just wait.
…
Once Dorothy got into Kevin’s car, she kept her eyes glued to the location on her phone.
“Ms. Sanchez, heading back to Bay Residence?” Kevin asked.
“No! Take me to this place first, I need to pick something up.”
He glanced at Dorothy through the rearview mirror, smiling, “Once the antidote is secured, you and Mr. Lopez can finally settle down for a peaceful life!”
“Yeah,” Dorothy smiled thoughtfully, “I do like peaceful days.”
They arrived at the bakery, but with no parking spots nearby, Kevin had to park a little distance away in a small lot.
As Dorothy reached for the car door, Kevin was already on his feet.
“Let me know what you want, I can go get it!”
“No need, I’d like to pick for myself.” A few steps ahead, Dorothy noticed Kevin following and quickly said, “You don’t have to come with me, I’ll be right back.”
“I’m already out, might as well go together! I can help carry.”

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....

I don't agree with not letting him in. That just seems cruel and besides wasn't the whole point of getting pregnant again was for him to experience and travel the journey of pregnancy with her?...
