Chapter 14

Kristy couldn’t sit still as she waited for news from Dean about Hannah. He’d been surprised Jason got her case brought up before a judge so quickly. The truth was, so was Kristy.

“When does your mom open the pub part?” Kristy turned to see Lora the new waitress at Jack’s Place.

Kristy liked her. Mostly because she knew what she was doing, and she wasn’t a teenager or a woman her mother’s age. Not that over fifty was a bad thing, but it was nice to have someone her own age to work with at the pub.

“Usually after supper. Mom swore she wasn’t going to have the bar opened all day, so people could spend all day drinking instead of home with their family. Nan told her Grandda would roll over in his grave if he thought about people not being home with their families at supper time.” Kristy chuckled.

“Your family is close.” Lora sat next to her while they waited for the supper rush.

“Yeah,” Kristy sipped on a cup of tea she’d poured for herself.

“That’s wonderful.” Lora smiled shyly.

“You aren’t close with your family?” Lora hadn’t said much about her life except she had a little girl.

“My dad died a few years ago and Molly, my mom and me rent a place on Knob Lane.” Lora stood up and glanced around as if she was uncomfortable with talking about herself.

“No siblings?” Kristy should have taken the hint, but she was nosey.

“I have a brother, but he’s a pilot and is only home a week or so every few months.” Lora sighed. “Would you mind if I call home to check on Molly?”

“No, go ahead. Hell, you need a break. You haven’t stopped since you got here.”

The conversation distracted Kristy for a short time, but as she watched Lora walk to the back of the pub, her thoughts went back to Dean and his sister. He said he would text her when he knew something, but it had been hours, and her phone remained silent.

She snatched a cloth off the bar and started toward some of the empty tables to wipe them down. Not because they needed to be but because she had to distract herself. She was off from the Comfort Life Center for the next three days, and if she was honest, she wasn’t sure she wanted to return there.

It wasn’t that she didn’t love the job but considering what happened she wasn’t sure how she could go back there. Kristy didn’t have much of a choice because she’d made a commitment to Sophia and she didn’t want to let her down.

“If you keep wiping down that table you’re going to wipe the coating off it.” Kristy turned around.

Her cousins Mike and Ian were at the end of the counter holding menus. Ian always dropped in on Thursday because he worked late at the clinic and Billie spent Thursday evenings at the real estate agency until nine. So, Mike would drop by and have supper.
