Chapter Thirty Four

"Oh, hello. Claire" Katherine replied. "Your sons dragged you here too, huh"

"Oh, yes" Claire replied. "Oliver has been so excited about this. If I missed it, he would be so upset"

"Same with Tim. But it's good to be out for something else apart from work" Katherine said.

Claire nodded in agreement. "So what's new, Katherine?" she asked after a moment.

Katherine grinned at her. "Absolutely nothing, Claire, except the heat" she replied.

Claire squinted over her first puff of a cigarette. "I know good and well that something is new. I heard you have a store at Crimson bay. A friend of mine mine saw you with Jensen at the party. So how is it being reunited with your 'best friend' from high school?" she asked.

Katherine sighed. She knew Claire. She would pick at facts until she arranged them to her satisfaction.

"Why are you saying best friend like that?" Katherine asked slightly amused.
