Chapter Five

Katie untied the apron from her waist and lifted it over her head. “See you tomorrow,” she called over her shoulder as she grabbed her purse from under the cash register and headed for the door.

Ole Win glanced up over the top of his reading glasses as she drew alongside him. “Glad to see you and Cutter got things worked out,” he murmured.

Katie hesitated, then pasted on a smile and pushed through the door into the bright sunshine. She and Cutter didn’t have anything worked out between them. They existed in a kind of limbo where the only things they talked about were unimportant or strictly about sex.

Not once had they broached the subject of her affair with Justin. It loomed between them, growing larger and uglier the longer they ignored it.

At least from her point of view. And she’d become a coward, unwilling to rock the boat because her time with Cutter was precious.

As she walked along the sidewalk toward the grocery store, the sunshine which usually buoyed her spirits, beat down on her unprotected head. Perspiration broke on her forehead and upper lip and her stomach churned.

When she reached the grocery, the air-conditioned air relieved her for moment, but then a strong wave of nausea hit her. She clamped her hand over her mouth and rushed toward the back of the store and the restrooms.

She made it through the door, punched open the stall and bent. Breakfast and lunch landed in the toilet bowl. When the urge to retch eased, she sighed, hanging above the rim of the toilet with a hand braced against the stall and the other against her knee.

A paper towel entered her line of vision and she grabbed for it, wiping her mouth before she glanced over her shoulder.

The room tilted and an arm slipped around her waist. “Easy now. No quick moves,” came a feminine voice.

Katie blinked and turned slowly. Dani Standifer stood beside her, and then reached past her to flush the toilet. “Let’s get you cleaned up.”

Katie let the younger woman lead her to the sink and stood docilely while Dani wet more paper towels and washed her face. “Rinse your mouth. You’ll feel like a new person.”

Katie cupped her hands beneath the faucet and did just that, then swallowed a small, cool sip. When she glanced up in the mirror, Dani was smiling softly behind her.

“My brother know?”

“Know what?”

Dani tilted her head. “You don’t have a clue, do you?”

“What are you talking about?”

Dani shook her head, a rueful smile curving her mouth. She took Katie’s hand and pulled her out of the restroom, then purposefully dragged her down an aisle. She stopped in front of a shelf of pregnancy kits and Katie swallowed hard.

“We’ll share,” Dani said. “There’re two in the box. Wait right here while I pay.”

There was no way Katie was going to be spotted standing in front of the pregnancy tests. By dinnertime, the whole damn town would think that she’d been knocked up.
