Dorothy frowned, trying to see through him, but found that he seemed to be wearing a mask that she couldn’t see through no matter what.
He squinted, “Don’t you want to?”
Dorothy brushed his hand away and said in a low voice, “You better walk the talk.”

Dorothy held her hand and said, “Mom, I will wait with you.”
Gianna smiled at each other.
After eight o’clock, Dorothy finally returned to Tranquility Apartments. It had been a while since she
had been back, and the home felt even colder.

waiting for her for a long time.
