She had woken up after her evening of fun with Camden and found herself all alone. She had tried to convince herself that he had gone out to catch them breakfast or get a drink, but it didn’t take her long to realize that wasn’t the case. Finley had behaved like a dumb teenaged girl and now she would potentially have to pay the consequences for what she had done. The Lennox woman had allowed herself the better part of the day to cry about it, and then she had wiped her tears and gotten practical.

It was way too soon to know if her foolish fling had taken root in her womb, and if it had she was all alone. If she were pregnant and there was something attaching to her inside, what a gross thought, she would need someone to help her provide. Camden might have been a bad guy, but if she could convince someone else they knocked her up and that they needed to pay the piper she would be golden.

Or she could track Camden down and force him to pay for his sins. Whichever one she could get done first.

Unfortunately for her, she was not anywhere near where Camden had run off to. Somehow she had ended up in the rolling mountains to the north, the same way she had come from when she had wandered into these lands. It was starting to get late, and Finley was exhausted from crying most of the day when she stumbled across an old den, marked by a large strangely circular boulder. The sight of the opening made her eyelids droop, she just needed a little nap before she kept moving.

Finley was able to rest peacefully through the night in the den that she had found without being disturbed. Waking up early in the morning the woman set out again, moving on from the area and trying to discover what her next steps would be. It was not going to be easy, and she needed to work fast if she was going to trick another man into thinking that it was his baby.

She moved on.
