Abilene should have scared Kiera off. The fact she had called her out on stained lips, skepticism lingering through the entire conversation. That should have been reason enough to avoid Abi as much as possible. Except you weren’t wary of playing with fire until you get burned for the first time. She had been kind too. Invited her inside from the cold. That was what Kiera chose to cling to.
“I don’t know why they gave the Kissing Booth four people, but expected you and Bobby to do all this painting yourselves,” Kiera mused. What did she know about building a booth? Maybe it really did take four people! Besides, she would be way more help lending a hand here than any of the stations using power tools. “I have some extra paint from the bakery window that’s just gonna dry up if I don’t use it. Need a top up? Or another set of hands?” Both options offered, not wanting to force their company onto Abilene.
