Chapter 211: Kylie

As soon as Adam headed out of the clinic parking lot, Kylie sank into her chair at the front desk and just stared off into the distance, the vaguest pretense of being fine disappearing without a trace.

What a hellacious night.

She hadn't slept well, she'd cried her body weight in tears and then some, and then this morning, all she could think was that Adam deserved so much better than her.

In fact, as soon as he knew she was pregnant with a married man's baby, he'd never want to talk to her again. No one would. Dammit all, this was a small town. People didn't forgive or forget easily.

And, by convincing Adam to hire her without telling him the truth, she'd dragged him into her disaster of a life, and knowing some of the judgmental asses out there, she might actually cost him some business with this little stunt of hers. Some rancher could totally choose to use a vet out of Franklin or Copperton rather than associate with a business who hired people like her.
