He would show her. He wouldshow just how normal and pathetic she really was. That anyone could beJessica Munroe. Even him.His mum usually worked late ...n weekdays.

Neither ofthem would ever know. She won the contest at the first ballot. Babs and I celebrated with a glass of champagne in the campaign office. My phone rang. It was Tenant. “I’m having a small party at my house this evening. I don’t want a lot of riotous celebration, we need to maintain the dignity but I think we are allowed a small celebration.” The ‘small’ party was about forty people. Babs had decided to go in what she called ‘soft leather’ mode which comprised a pair of deliciously tight blue trousers with short boots,. She proceeded to grab a handful of Kate’s sweaty tangled hair tightly in the palm of her right hand and spoke sadistically. ?You’re the bitch Kate Austen. Understand that you and me will be having plenty of one-on-one time together in the future and you will become accustomed to how the feet of Korean girl’s taste and smell, plenty of hours for you to savour their texture. Now get back to work bitch!?

I love him Steven. I never wanted it to happen and I never asked for it, but it did happen. He makes me so happy Steven and I truly want to be with him. I wish I could do this without hurting you Steve but that would be impossible.’ She just stared at me awkwardly, I could only assume she was hoping for some reply or maybe some absolution.
