Although Kara felt very attracted to Mark. She knew that to kiss him would be wrong and that she would probably lose her very best friend and no man is worth that, even if he "is" the sexiest babe you've seen in a while. Kara politely made her excuses and went off to the bathroon where she found Vicky. Kara knew that as her best friend, she had to tell her the truth as to what Mark's actions were towards her. Kara felt very pleased with herself that she was able to resist Mark's charm, and did the right thing in this situation. However, one part of Kara felt concerned just in case Vicky did not believe her, and thought that she was attempting to spoil their relationship.

"You know, if it had been Marilyn telling me this, then I probably wouldn't have believed her - but I know you will have got your facts straight, Kara," Vicky responded with appreciation. Vicky ended her relationship with Mark there & then, and although Kara felt bad about the relationship ending, she was glad to have been honest as Mark was obviously not the faithful type. Kara & Vicky decided to leave the club and go for a walk along the local beach.

"It's years since we walked along here just chatting and soaking up the surroundings, isn't it Kara?" Vicky whispered after a moment of comfortable silence. Kara nodded in agreement, and thought about how if she had let Mark kiss her, then she would have lost Vicky forever, and Mark probably would have gone on to cheat on her if they had embarked on a relationship as well. She was so happy that she had made the right decision and was enjoying such a special and rare moment in their friendship.

"Here's to real sisterhood," announced Kara. They had reached the point of where their journey home differed and gave each other a hug goodbye. Kara walked down her road and passed one of the local pubs to her left. It had been a warm day and there were 3 men sitting outside exchanging conversation. Kara couldn't help overhear that one of them was speaking about painting. Kara loved painting so she introduced herself to the man. The painter was called Steve and Kara and Steve got chatting about painting as well as anything and everything. Kara really fancied Steve and was hoping she might be in for a chance.

As they left, Steve made eye contact with Kara and said ..

"Would you like to come back to my place?"....
