He was the talk of the town, a magnet for female attention at school, but Dorothy never imagined Mr. Lopez, the heartthrob of many, could ever fall for someone like her.
"So, how did Mr. Lopez sweep you off your feet?" Nyssa asked, emboldened by Dorothy's openness.
"It's quite a story," Dorothy said with a gentle smile. "Our journey wasn't all rainbows and sunshine, Nyssa. Yes, there were touching moments, but I wouldn't wish our struggles on anyone."
Their path had been fraught with obstacles, to the point where Dorothy had almost given up hope.
If it weren't for Everett's persistence, they might have ended up strangers.
Nyssa could see a complex mix of emotions in Dorothy's smile, a puzzle she couldn't solve.
"Oops! I've taken up too much of your time, Ms. Sanchez. I'll go digest all this valuable advice."
Dorothy chuckled, "It's not advice, just a bit of shared wisdom."
"Still, it's precious to me!"
...
As quitting time rolled around, Everett was already waiting downstairs, having learned to keep his distance from the office after a misunderstanding involving Perdita. Now, he waited in his car for Dorothy to come down.
"Everett, picking me up every day is giving me anxiety," Dorothy teased as she slid into the passenger seat.
"Anxiety?" he raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah! Is Lopez Corporation really that laid back? If the CEO has this much free time, I'm starting to worry... is business that bad?"
Dorothy's legs nearly gave way beneath her. She and Everett rushed to the hospital, where the school principal and teachers were waiting.
"How's my son?" Dorothy asked, panic-stricken.
Everett, stern-faced, demanded answers, "How did this happen?"
The teacher, on the verge of tears, explained, "Abigail was fond of a pony and went back to pet it after class. The pony, not properly secured, charged at her. Langston stepped in to protect his sister and was trampled!"
Dorothy felt the world spin at the thought of her son's injury.
"Is his leg... broken?"
"We called an ambulance immediately, but we're still waiting on the doctor's word," the teacher replied, her voice trembling.

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....
