She said she had been flattered by their attentions but didn’t respond to any of them. Carrie’s boss took me around to meet people while his wife ...and some of her friends entertained Carrie. It must have been over half an hour before I saw Carrie again, she was looking the worse for wear, too many cocktails. She was in the library that had been set up as a disco, she was dancing with some guy who had his hands full of her arse. I cut in and while we were dancing, Carrie said she needed to go to. It was Rick Swenson, Susan Butcher's arch-rival."But I thought..." Tiffany said."That Rick and I are deadly enemies?" Susan smiled.
