Chapter Ten

KAILYNN HAD NO CHOICE but to continue with her regular routine as if the most monumental moment of her life never occurred. It was juvenile to everyone else, but having sex for the first time made her feel like something would change, or be different about her. She looked in the mirror, expecting to see something new or altered, since that was how she felt. But no. She had the same average face and long, brown hair. She wasn’t thin and her boobs were still too ugly, and way too big.

Her brothers talked as raunchy as ever as they sat around the trailer while her dad stayed in bed. She cooked their meals, unloaded all the stuff they’d taken to the mountains, and washed all the laundry that piled up while she was gone. Restraining a long sigh, she thought, yes, indeed, she was right back to her normal, ordinary life.

She had to work. She couldn’t refuse to go to the café. And no matter how much she wanted to quit the Rydells, she needed the money desperately. Worse still, it would have been totally obvious to Ian why she quit, so she didn’t.

She entered the café and Rhonda looked up with a smile and a tired hello. “Glad you’re back. Way too busy without your help.” Yes, Kailynn was slightly above average in her waitressing, cooking, and cleaning skills.

She went straight to work, serving coffee and water, as well as the breakfast specials and quickly delivered the bills to her tables. It was always busy on Monday mornings. That was when the valley got back to work. The afternoon usually brought in the elderly couples, and others who didn’t have to work. As a rule, they were usually super sweet, and chatted much longer than it took them to eat. Problem was: most of the elderly citizens didn’t have much money and rarely tipped more than a few dollars. She couldn’t get rich on that anytime soon.

She was halfway through her shift when she turned with a stack of menus in her hand. Dear Lord, there was Ian and Jack! She stopped dead in her tracks. No. It was bad enough she’d have to face Ian again, but here? In front of strangers? The lunch crowd was just starting to arrive and conversations buzzed back and forth. Rhonda was flying between her tables. Jack and Ian sat down at a booth that was in Kailynn’s section. Rhonda would never have covered for her. Besides, it would have been ridiculous not to serve the Rydells. It would have instantly been noticed by everyone too; after all, the only thing she did was serve the Rydells in one way or another.

She walked forward on trembling knees and pulled out her pad to write down their orders. She didn’t need the pad. She just wrote the orders down for the bills. She could remember every detail about every order from a ten-person table with very little effort.

“Hey, Lynnie. What’s the special today?” Jack asked.
