There was a stranger in her doorway. A tall, golden skinned woman with midnight dark hair looked back at her, the lean body arranged against her doorway in a posture of confident arrogance.

Kerry blinked, and looked again, and was captured by the bluest, clearest eyes she had ever seen, that drilled right through her with a blast of cool intensity, and a strange, almost haunting glimpse of something familiar.

Kerry slammed her chair back and stood, pacing over to the wall and staring at it. She let her anger build until it was at the breaking point, then she let it loose, slamming her fist against the drywall surface with a crunch.

"Low piece of godforsaken...I can't believe she did that." She fumed,letting her hand come to rest against the abused wall. "A whole week of killing myself for nothing. For NOTHING!"

Dar chuckled wryly. "Calculated game plan of attack. I'll wear it at the meeting tomorrow, under my jacket. Her eyes twinkled wickedly. "Good psychology..This Disney crowd's an odd lot..They're businessmen, but there's still a strong element in there of the old, family centered franchise...They're very loyal to the brand name, and they like to see some enthusiasm for their product."

Colleen studied her as the blonde woman dug into her package. Smiling and interested, her sun tinted skin evident in the lamplight, Kerry looked like she'd just come back from a vacation, not a business meeting. The redhead smiled to herself. "Well, you look great...got some sun,huh?"

"Um... thanks for the Pooh. "Kerry said softly. "That was a real surprise."
A chuckle sounded, sending gentle shivers down her spine. "I don't recall signing the card." Dar replied in a playful tone. "But you're welcome... I thought you deserved a little momento of the successful bid." She paused, and Kerry could hear her clear her throat a little. "And... um... that was an insane thing to do, but thank you for the dolphins. I love...them."
