Summary: Kitty's thoughts as she returns home after being rebuffed by her married lover.
He wasn't going to leave his wife.
He’d promised that they would be together, and now that the opportunity had presented itself, he’d said that a divorced man was a disgraced man, and he had worked too hard to give it up for her. The woman he’d said he loved. More lies.
Worse yet, Walter had known. Walter with his emotionless smile.
And now she would have to go back to him and tell him that she would go to the interior with him, because her lover would not have her.
Her humiliation was complete now.
