She might pity date the poor man for purely selfish reasons, but she wasn’t going to give him pity sex. ‘No way am I sleeping with him. The last thing I want is some nerdy English guy falling in love with me. Besides, freaky freaky is why I keep Jack around.’
    ‘Kat!’ Zoe scolded. ‘You are not still seeing Jack, are you?’
    ‘What do you mean still? I’ve been with him for four years.’
    ‘I know.’ Zoe shrugged. ‘I just keep hoping you’ll give him up. He’s not right for you.’
    ‘What? It’s not like I’m going to marry the guy or any guy for that matter. A single girl’s got to get her kicks somehow and Jack’s good at accents.’ Kat grinned, again pushing the front door open to let in the unseasonably hot air. ‘I like to think of Jack as a giant sex toy that never runs out of batteries. Besides, just like a vibrator, he never complains when I get rid of him afterward. I just tell him I’m inspired to work and he leaves.’
    ‘Kat!’ Zoe shook her head. Kat could tell her sister was trying really hard not to laugh. The waitress just grinned at them, chuckling to herself.
    ‘Ah, you know you love me.’ Kat winked.
    ‘Yep, you are the bane of my existence.’ Zoe waved a hand and turned to go towards the kitchen.
    Kat smiled, stepping out into the bright sunlight. Opening the paper bag, her grin only widened as the smell of food wafted over her. Now this is why she loved Zoe. She took out half the cut sandwich and sniffed the delicious grilled chicken smothered with homemade mozzarella, fresh basil, sliced tomatoes and a creamy ranchlike sauce Zoe had invented. On the bottom of the bag was an extra sandwich for later.
    Who needs true love when I have sisters, she thought, as she took a very unladylike bite.
    The address she was looking for was several blocks away and it was fairly hot out, but Kat decided to walk it. With traffic, she’d probably get there faster on foot and she couldn’t really afford to waste money on a cab ride anyway. Eating as she strolled, she navigated her way along the busy sidewalk.
    Horns honked, drowned out by the sound of busy street workers drilling away. Kat ignored the sounds,having tuned them out long ago. For the most part, she minded her own business, but her eyes were always searching the crowds, looking for that one must-have photograph. It didn’t look as if she’d find it today, but she never knew.
    She finished the first sandwich, wrapped up the second one and put it in the side pocket of her camera bag for later. Stopping in front of a window she quickly adjusted her hair, using the reflection as a mirror. Kat really didn’t have a plan, but knew it was best to be prepared in case she found an opportunity to meet Dr Vincent. With that in mind, she dug a couple of breath mints out of her bag.
    ‘Vincent,’ she said, thoughtfully studying her reflection in the glass. She wore faded denim jeans and a black jersey tunic that was split down the front, starting at the ruched material between her breasts and falling softly below her hips. The slit showed a splash of hot pink. It matched her hair and had actually been the inspiration for her to colour the pieces framing her face. Scrunching up her face, she lowered her voice into a breathy, seductive murmur, ‘Hello, Dr Richmond, know any big words?’
    The shoulder straps on the T-shirt were wide, but still left her arms bare like a tank top. She glanced around to make sure no one was staring at her before reaching down the front to grab her breasts and lift them up to show more cleavage. Next, she pulled her hands out and quickly adjusted the underwired bra. A quick squirt of the perfume conveniently kept in the side pocket of her camera bag and she was ready to go meet the man who’d make all her dreams come true.
    Kat laughed. Most women seemed to think men themselves were the ultimate goal – marriage, family, pretty little homes in the suburbs to raise the kids in. Not Kat. If marriage
