Frankie knocked at the door and turned to look at the view, the cottage was just outside the city but it could have been anywhere it was peaceful and the only real sounds were of thr birds and the farmers tractor over the field Geri opened the door.  “Hi I’ve been sent to take pictures, of you and Martha congratulations you have won the best doggie competition,” Geri stood back, she was smiling but showed no real excitment.  Martha wagged her tail and nuzzled Frankie’s hand.

Geri was quiet and reserved and seemed quite shy in away, “I’m so pleased Martha won, she is such a sweet dog.”

“She is Frankie was warming to Martha, “right Martha we need to take some picture’s,” Martha’s ears pricked up and her head went to one side at her name and she looked straight at Frankie as if to say, “ok then lets get started.”

Frankie took 20 photo’s of both Geri and Martha, “I hope I’m not being too forward but would you like to go out for a drink one night?”

“I don’t know you,” Geri went red.

“I don’t bite and though I don’t like to admit it I’m lonely and would like to make some new friends,” although Frankie had changed she was finding it difficult to get her friends to trust her again, Sam was so engrossed in Lexi she didn’t want to be a gooseberry, Tess and Alic were in love and Ed was still a bit off with her his forgivness would take a lot of hard work.

“Well I guess it wouldn’t hurt would it, I’m free after tomorrow,” Geri gave a shy smile.

“How about Friday then?” Frankie was grinning inside but kept her excitment within.

“Fine that’s fine.”

Frankie took a taxi back to the office on her expenses and downloaded 19 of the 20 photo’s there was one no one was going to see except her, Geri was gorgeous and this picture captured her completly.

Friday night came and Frankie was nervous, she had given up smoking too but the nevers made her wish she hadn’t, She dressed carefully and fixed her hair something she rarely did, it was usually wash and dry as fast as possible and running the fingers though.  Frankie had never been this nervous on a date since she asked Cat out.  She arrived at the bar 10 minutes early bought a drink and sat on a bar stool where she could see the door, Geri arrived a little later, her face was flushed and she looked shy and nervous, “Hi,”  Geri walked over to Frankie.
