Chapter Nine

The plumber was coming to install the new toilet in the tiny bathroom in the break room, so Kelly was forced to use the one in the front of the house during the next night’s dinner shift. She finished her business, and as she came up to the sink to wash her hands, a woman gave her the stink eye. Taken aback, she said, “Am I in your way?” She moved as far as she could and still reach the sink.

“So, are you fucking both of them?”

Her mouth fell open. “Excuse me?”

“I saw you out last night with Leo Laporte and Scott Schaeffer, so I was just wondering. Are you fucking them? They share. And I’d know.” The woman threw a significant look over her shoulder at Kelly, who was rooted to the spot, unable to believe she was even having this conversation.

“I—”

“You probably think you have something special, but when it gets out that you took both of them on at once, you’ll be labeled a whore. Trust me on that.” The woman dried her hands with a paper towel as Kelly continued to stand there, her mouth agape. “Dump them now while you can, honey. They’re good-time boys—players. Maybe you thought you were different because they agreed to be seen out in public with you, but you’re not. They’ll never settle down. Can you imagine that, really? Two guys and one girl, happily ever after?” The woman sneered and gave Kelly a once-over. “Not likely.”

She left the bathroom, and Kelly had to lean on the wall for support. One word kept repeating in her head like some twisted mantra. Whore. Would that really happen? Would people call her a whore if they knew?

With shaking hands, Kelly washed up and returned to the kitchen. Bonnie looked at her in concern. “You okay?”

“I’m fine.” Kelly walked right past her without stopping and made for her office, shutting the door behind her. She sank down in her desk chair and turned it away from the door and toward the opposite wall, as if it held the answers to her problems. The phone rang, and she was startled out of her stupor. She picked it up on the second ring. “Kelly’s.”

“Hello, may I speak with the owner?”

“This is her.”

“My name is Roger. I cover hockey for the Buffalo Courier.”

“Uh-huh…”

“It’s recently come to my attention that you may be”—he paused, and Kelly’s eyes closed in mortification—“involved with both Leo Laporte and Scott Schaeffer. Can you comment on that?”

“Excuse me?”

“Are you the reason Leo Laporte’s game has been going downhill as of late?”

“Whether or not Leo plays well has nothing to do with me!” She could feel her anger rising and knew she needed to get off the phone before she said something she’d regret. Her business couldn’t afford to make enemies at the local newspaper, no matter what department they worked in or how much of a slimeball the guy was. She wondered idly if the woman who she’d seen in the bathroom had called this guy to tip him off.
