KAYLEE
In the time I’d worked for the jewelry store, Rizalina had visited me several times, but not once had she shown any sign that she knew the store manager. And from the way he had an arm around her waist in the picture, they knew each other pretty well. But…
“He’s married, Rizalina,” I said quietly, my mind spinning as I tried to understand.
Rizalina wouldn’t meet my gaze. She dropped her eyes to her bare feet and hugged herself. “I know… but-”
I shook my head. “There can’t be a ‘but’ in this matter,” I snapped. “He’s married, and he had me fired from my job. I’m almost certain he’s even the one responsible for stealing the jewelry and then he tried to blame it on me!” I was shouting by the time I was done, and Zeke woke up in my arms, alarmed, and started whimpering.
Rizalina’s
