The moment the words left his lips, no one was more shocked than Jeffrey Turner!

"What?"

Instantly, all eyes were on him.

Jeffrey coughed a few times, offering a sheepish laugh, "I just think... if his leg's saved, why break up, you know..."

"You all don't need to worry," Kenneth Nelson said calmly, his voice smooth as butter, "Especially you, Dorothy. Don't overthink it. It's not about you that we're breaking up, and I won't interfere with your thing with Everett Lopez."

Dorothy Sanchez, of course, hoped he'd keep things going well with Eleanor. After all, they seemed such a good match, not to mention they'd been living together for so long, sharing more than a few moments of affection.

Kenneth got her, naturally knowing what she wanted to say.

So, he waved his hand, cutting her off, "No need for anyone to try and talk me out of it. I've mulled over this decision for a long time before bringing it up."

Karen Miller, on hearing this, didn't really object.

She was never a fan of Eleanor, thinking her a bit too dramatic. Even if Eleanor had her reasons, Karen and Eleanor simply didn't click.

"If you wanna split, then split. It's your life! I've got your back no matter what, but... dealing with your mom might be tough. Just don't let her blame Dorothy." Karen couldn't stand to see her best friend getting blamed again!

After all, it was Karen who had introduced them in the first place. If Sienna got upset, she'd take it out on Dorothy, and Karen couldn't just stand by and watch.

"I'll clear things up with my mom," Kenneth said, his gaze flicking to Dorothy for just a moment before looking away, "The main thing is, I've realized I haven't made room in my heart for a future girlfriend. With my heart already full, no matter who I'm with, she won't be happy."

Silence fell.

"Rather than that, I shouldn't hold Eleanor back, nor any other girl."

Kenneth decided to break up with Eleanor and then refuse any matchmaking attempts.

He'd thought it through carefully. Only when he was completely over Dorothy, when he could see her as just a sister or a stranger, would he consider his personal life again. Jeffrey got the message.

So, the bottom line was, he still hadn't let go of Dorothy!

"Big bro, if your heart's always full, you're gonna stay single forever?"

Kenneth nodded, "Yeah, being alone's not bad. Better than leading other girls on."

"But if you didn't care about Eleanor at all, why'd you chase after her when she stormed out?" Jeffrey tried to make his case, hoping to prevent the breakup.

Otherwise, with Everett in the mix, it was like having a burglar in the front yard and a fire in the back, not knowing which disaster to tackle first.

"She was furious when she left; I was worried something might happen to her."

"That's my point! You're worried about her, which means you do have feelings!" Jeffrey clapped his hands, trying to reason with him, "If it was like you said, you should've just let her be. That way, if anything happened, it wouldn't be on you, but her!"

Karen frowned at this.

"Jeffrey, why are you butting in? If you can't help, go home!"

"I'm just trying to help our big bro here think it through! You and Dorothy are women; how would you know what us men are thinking?"

Kenneth bowed his head, seemingly deep in thought, silent.

Karen suddenly said, "Oh, Dorothy, is Everett coming to pick you up later?"
