Chapter 159

Renee went to work and wondered if Kevin would be there. He hadn’t shown up for weeks. He’d left that picture and that’s the last she’d heard out of him. Why had he stopped coming around? She put her apron on and went out to the front. She took over her tables and went through the motions of the day. She’d called the doctor and set up an appointment. She had to know what was going on. Jesse had kept to himself the past couple of days.

She’d felt guilty for hurting him. That had never been her intention. He hadn’t even tried to touch her. She often wondered what was going through his head as he got a funny look on his face like he was planning something. It actually scared her a little bit. A couple of hours into her shift, she saw a man sit at the booth Kevin always sat at. She hurried over and he looked up. Her breath caught as she saw Kevin’s eyes. He smiled at her. Why did he have such an effect on her?

“Good morning, Tabitha.”
