StarNovel"Can Abigail and Langston ctoo?" Karen's voice lit up with excitement, "I've missed them like crazy!" "That might disrupt your rest, though." "Oh, screw rest! I'm about to grow cobwebs over here!" Dorothy totally got where Karen was coming from.

"I'll talk to Everett about it and see. He's been swamped dealing with Quincy lately." "Dorothy, aren't you worried that Everett might actually...you know, with Quincy?"

Dorothy's consciousness was fading, but she managed to dial Everett's number with sheer willpower. "Everett, I..." Before she could finish, darkness swallowed her whole.
On the other end of the line, Everett kept calling out, "Dorothy? Dorothy!" Being back at the hospital felt entirely different from any previous visit.
Everett now had a grim association with the emergency room.
He hesitated at the door, unable to bear the sight of that flashing red light...
Fortunately, Dorothy regained consciousness quickly, sparing him from an agonizing wait.
