1. Ariette is filling Annette in on
her plans. There’s to be no more
wasted evenings hanging
around the Street.. She’s going
to make some proper friends.
Useful friends.

2. She sunk some of their insignificant savings into
buying a horse. It wasn’t a thoroughbred, but
no one else needed to know that.

3. Annette named the horse
Peps. She wasn’t bothered
about her pedigree, only
that she had her very own
milk white horse.

4. She enjoyed learning how to look
after Peps, even mucking out the
stable wasn’t too bad a task if you
knew it was making your horses
surroundings nice and clean.
But hanging out in the club
afterwards wasn’t her cup of
tea. She felt awkward.
But she was looking forward to
tomorrow. That was when she’d
meet all the other kids who
went to the stables, and she’d
meet all their horses too.

5. Megan dropped by early the
next morning, but Annette had
to turn her away. She had her
whole weekend planned around
her new club.

6. Megan calls on her fall-back
friend Malika, but she’s
busy having quality family
time with her parents.

7. Bored, Megan hangs out
with her mum, who’s happy
to let her daughter read
business management books
as long as she’s quiet.

8. The books were dry, but
they gave Megan an
idea. She abandoned
them for the internet,
and was soon muttering
to herself as she
researched her new idea.

9. Soon, she was set up outside
the house and ready for her
first punters. She was starting
out with muffins, but had
bigger plans on the horizon.

10. She worked all her charms
on passers by, determined
to create a strong, loyal
customer base. She would
need them later on when
she switched commodities.
Right now, she was working
the ‘cutesy’ angle.

11. When Ariette shut her down for not having a
business permit, she stormed indoors,
Annette hot on her heels to apologise for
her mum. Ariette remained outside, when
she and Warren had a heated ‘discussion’
about the future of her muffin stall.

12. Trinity Darkstone was desperate to get
more serious with Edward Poe, but she
is thwarted at every step. He doesn’t
mind being seen in public with her, but
doesn’t want her to know where he
lives, ‘just in case’.

13. She finds his lack of trust upsetting, and a
little insulting. She isn’t one to open up
emotionally, and she was really putting
herself out there for this guy.
If he couldn’t trust her with his address, was
he as serious as she was?

14. The problem was, Edward
was like smoke. There was
nothing about him on the
internet, no postal address
at city hall… it was as if he
didn’t exist. And he made
she she left first on any
dates. She couldn’t even
follow him home.
