Chapter 79

On the way back with Paul's broken cell phone, Sarah called Kathrine. She had just arrived and was ready to sit down and talk to Kathrine at a bar across town. Kelly started to act nervously again when she heard the news that Sarah was ready to meet. Kathrine was starting to think that Kelly was hiding something then it hit her.

"You've been away from Hailey for too long, haven't you?" Kathrine asked compassionately.

"Maybe," Kelly tried to smile, but it was clear from the look on her face that she was almost experiencing pain. It was, at the very least, incredibly uncomfortable.

"I didn't think it would be this bad," Kathrine consoled.

"I can make it. We'll meet Sarah, and then I'll head back," Kelly reassured her.

"No, you need to head out now. I noticed it earlier, but now it's really bad, isn't it?" Kathrine put her arm over Kelly's shoulders and tried to help.
