Sarah's Story
It’s 1 o’clock in the morning….Kandy and Chris are sound asleep
Kandy stirs as her cell phone rings….
Chris mumbles still half asleep….
Kandy gestures to him to keep quite….
“It’s my sister she says she’s down by the beach??? She’ll be here in 5 minutes???….”
Chris…“Whaat?... Why?... When?….”
He’s not good when he's just woken up!
“Quick you need to get out of here!” Kandy says pushing him out of bed
“Hand me my clothes then but I don't get why we can't just tell her?”
Chris stops dressing!…. “ I live here, with you? Why do I need to leave?”
“My sister! She’s Miss goody two shoes! Don’t get me wrong I love her but she wont get the living together thing!” Kandy frowns.
“OK? But it’s still one in the morning? What’s she doing visiting you at one in the morning?” Chris asks in confusion.
“She lives in New York!” Kandy tells him in way of explanation.
“Annnd???” Chris asks.
“Well they say it’s the city that never sleeps!” Kandy smiles.
“That’s the CITY not the people! I’m pretty sure they sleep at sometime!” Chris chucks her under the chin.
“Not if there Vampires!” Kandy giggles.
“KANDY!!!!!!” Chris laughs.
“OK! OK!” …..Kandy waves her hands at him and pulls a face. Just then the door bell rings…
“Oh No!!! She’s here already!!!!” Kandy rushes down stairs in total panic and opens the front door to her sister.
'How can Sarah look so good even at this time of the night?' Kandy is bemused.
“Kandy! Sweetie! You look tired darling, are you getting enough sleep?” Sarah greats her sister.
“Amm.. Derr… you wake me up in the middle of the night and say I look tired?” Kandy smiles.
“Yes! I guess your right….”Sarah replies a little distracted.
As they talk Kandy shows Sarah into the living room, just then there’s a sound on the stairs, they both look up as Chris enters the room…
“Amm! Hi, I’m Chris” Chris puts out his hand for Sarah to shake…
Kandy lets out a small groan… “Oh, boy!”
“Hi, Chris? Kandy never said she had a boyfriend?” Sarah gives him a smile that not quite reaches her eyes.
“That’s OK! she never said she had a sister either!”Chris quips.
They both look each other in the eye… Kandy wishes the ground would just open now and she would be gone! Sarah and Chris start to laugh and turn to Kandy who is standing there like a naughty school girl!
“I think we are going to get along fine” smiles Sarah.
Kandy sits down hard on the settee.
Sarah puts up her hand to cover a small yawn it’s been a loooong day!
Chris looks at then both… “Look I’m gonna go now! I’ll phone you in the morning Kandy” leaning forward he kisses the top of Kandy’s head.
“But? But? Where are you going?” Kandy looks confused
“It’s OK, I’m going to stay with Luke” … Chris winks at her and leaves
'Luke? That’s strange I thought he had a date with Erin?' Kandy thinks fleetingly then her attention is drawn back to Sarah
“Kandy sweetie can you get me a drink and show me to my room?”Sarah asks.
“But???” Kandy tries to explain.
“In the morning darling... I’m just so tired now” sighs Sarah
“Well for a start I only have the one bedroom!”Kandy finally manages to tell her.
“That’s OK we can share!… It’ll be like old times” Sarah gives her sister a smile, but it does not reach her eyes….
Kandy shivers! Why is her sister here in the middle of the night? Why is she so sad? What happened on Luke and Erin’s date? And why does a ducks quack have no echo?
The next morning Sarah was up early and by the time Kandy comes down for breakfast it was ready and waiting for her!
Even dressed in the dress she arrived in she looks stunning! Kandy thought with the hint of jealousy!
Just then the phone rings...It's Chris “just phoning to see how things are going?”
Kandy smiled, Chris always knew just when to phone.
Boy does she love this guy!
MAJOR jolt!!!!!
Yes, she does love him! Kandy smiles and hums to herself as she gets ready for work.
When she comes back down Sarah is reading the newspaper.
“So what are you going to do today I'm so sorry I can’t get the time of work and I can’t just not turn up! I can see if I can get a couple of days vacation though! That’s if you staying? Are you staying?” Kandy babbles.
Sarah lowered her paper
“ Yes I’d like to stay a while if you don’t mind? But I think it might be best if I book into a hotel! I don’t want to put Chris out of his home!” Sarah relies.
“Oh!”is all Kandy can say.
“... and I need to get some clothes! I only have what I’m wearing” Sarah gestures down at her dress.
“OK! Perhaps we can meet up for lunch? I can take you to this wonderful new Boutique that’s just opened!” Kandy tells her.
“That would be nice!” Sarah smiles again it was one of those ‘Sarah’ smiles that never quite reaches her eyes!
Maybe it was because she was thinking that a ‘boutique’ was not the sort of store she normally went to for her clothes these days!
But then I would be nice to spend some time with Kandy, Sarah looked up to see Kandy disappear out of the front door!
“By sis! See you later! I will phone you let you know a time!” Kandy calls out and with that she was gone!
After washing the breakfast dishes Sarah finished getting ready and leave the house.
Sarah heads back towards the beach as she remembered seeing a nice hotel that looked out over the sea. As she walked she felt the sun was warm on her face. In fact by the time she reached the beach and the hotel she was feeling decidedly hot!
Back in New York Sarah never walked anywhere!!!
Sarah walks into the Hotel foyer, it was cool and welcoming
"Can I help you?" smiled the girl behind the reception desk.
"Do you have a room with an ocean view, please?" Sarah inquires.
"Yes, madam" the girl reaches for a room card and calls the porter while Sarah fills in the booking form.
"Your luggage?" the receptionist asks with a puzzled look.
"No! I don't have any luggage" Sarah tells her.
"Oh! Amm! OK! John will show you to your room" The receptionist tells her handing John the room card.
The room has a wonderful view out over the beach and to the sea beyond.
Sarah
looks around, the room looks clean and comfortable. She sits on the bed
and a single tear trickled down her beautiful face!
Kandy stirs as her cell phone rings….
Chris mumbles still half asleep….
Kandy gestures to him to keep quite….
“It’s my sister she says she’s down by the beach??? She’ll be here in 5 minutes???….”

‘Bring, Bring’ Sarah awoke with a start, her cell phone was ringing…….
Where was she? Then it all came rushing back…
She fumbled around and retrieved her phone, it was her sister Kandy.
“Where are you? It’s 1:30 I thought we were meeting up for lunch???” Kandy sounded a little cross.
“I am sooooo sorry, I must have dozed off!” Sarah replies guiltily.
“OK! But where are you?” Kandy repeats.
“I’ve booked into The Royal on the beach” Sarah informs her.
“ OK! Do you feel up to lunch or would you rather meet up later?” Kandy asks her.
“ Lunch would be good! Where should I meet you?” Sarah suddenly feels a little hungry.
“There’s a café down by the beach , it’s called the Café Blue. I can meet you there…..say 2 o’clock?” Kandy looks at her watch.
“I’ll see you then!” Sarah closed her cell and put it back in her purse.
Going to the bathroom and Sarah freshens up. Then she set of to meet up with Kandy….
As Sarah approaches the café she can see Kandy sitting at a table chatting to a beautiful young woman.
Kandy spots Sarah and calls to her.
“ Hi, Sarah this is a friend of mine Kyori, Kyori meet my sister Sarah”
The two woman size each other up smile and both say "hello".
Sarah sits down at the table and asks Kyori if she would like to join them for lunch?
“Thanks, but I'll have to pass this time, I have a lunch date with a VERY handsome man!!!” and with that she was gone...
“ So what would you recommend for lunch?” Sarah asks her sister.
After a very pleasant lunch the girls went shopping, Sarah soooo needs some clothes (she’s been in the same clothes since yesterday!!! Although she did wash out her ‘smalls’ last night!)
Kandy settles down on a chair near the fitting room...
"This is a nice skirt ?" Sarah shows Kandy a plain pink skirt.
"No! I like the other one!" Kandy tells her pointing at a short floral skirt.
"I love the black!" Sarah holds up a basic black skirt.
"No! Go for the denim"...Says Kandy
"These are a classic" Says Sarah looking at some check trousers.
" I think these will suit you more" Kandy replies.
"A nice black swimsuit?" Sarah looks over at her sister.
"I think the bikini!" Grins Kandy.
"I GIVE UP!!!!!"Sarah throws her hands in the air. Then she goes in to the fitting room one last time....
"WOWZA" Kandy is knocked of her chair!!
(The blue dress is for Kandy)
Where was she? Then it all came rushing back…
She fumbled around and retrieved her phone, it was her sister Kandy.

(The blue dress is for Kandy)
This outfit is about as far removed as you can get from Sarah's normal look.
After
a very successful afternoon shopping Kandy dropped Sarah of at her
hotel and went home for an early night. What with Sarah’s late night/
early morning appearances and an afternoon’s hard shopping she was
exhausted.
Sarah goes up to her room and after putting away her new purchases she bathed and stood at the window looking out to sea. 
So sad and alone…… With a sigh she turns and lays down on her bed.
Within minutes she was asleep all the stress of the last few weeks had finally taken there toll and she falls into a deep sleep!
The next day Sarah looks through her new wardrobe, what had she been thinking? These clothes were just not her style! So after breakfast Sarah sets of into town and another visit to the Boutique. This time buying some clothes that suited her more.
Deciding not to take the other clothes back though…….. maybe she would give them to Kandy a few at a time? Slowly as the days went by Sarah started to relax a little and open up a bit to Kandy....
She told her sister about the wonderful man she had married…. The man of her dreams who turned out to be the stuff of nightmares.
How things had gone wrong and Sarah had, had enough she walked out!
Sarah had stayed with a friend for a couple of days the decided to visit Kandy.
After some rest and relaxation Sarah was starting to feel a little better and ready to face the world and get her life back.Kandy told her there was to be a big party at Neal’s new house Kandy had managed to score an invite and was going with Chris.
Chris said she should ask Sarah along as well.
When Sarah said she would love to go Kandy was positively amazed.
Sarah had NEVER been one for parties and after what she had been through ……?????
But that was Sarah full of surprises? The sisters decide they need to go shopping for new outfits.
Sarah took an age! And then went for a little gold number.
'Very sexy and not Sarah at all?' thought Kandy 'AND, I never had to talk her into it????'
This was all very puzzling?????
Later that night Kandy was telling Chris about her day out and about Sarah.
“Maybe she fancies Neal?” he said in his usual kack handed manor.
Kandy hit him with a pillow! “Pleeease! Don’t even joke about it!”
They then dissolved into a fit of giggles and ……. well that’s all I’m saying!!!
Sarah was SOOOOO jumpy “what on earth is wrong with you today?” Kandy asks
“Nothing! Nothing at all!” Sarah replied shifting in her seat.
“ You got piles? I told you not to keep sitting on that cold marble bench that looks out over the sea!” Kandy asks.
Sarah’s mouth opened then closed ….. What sort of an answer could you give THAT!!!!!
“Amm…. it’s time to go and get our hair done. We don’t want to be late!” Sarah says as she gets up from the table and trying to change the subject.
And that’s another thing! Sarah HATES having her hair done that’s why she always has it tied back!!!!!!
Oops! Did I say you would find out Sarah's secret now? I meant...
at Neal's party.....
So sad and alone…… With a sigh she turns and lays down on her bed.
