Caroline spent another few hours at the library browsing for a job. Nothing caught her eye though so not long after it got dark she headed off home. She doubted there would be any taxis hanging around like there was during the day so she set about making her own way home.
"Right. That's the park there and the taxi definatly came round there." She said to no one but herself. "You could see the sea so it must have been down there" she set off down the road, totally oblivious to the road that took her home.
"Oooh that looks nice" she said, peering into the bistro window. "Definatly on my to do list" she smiled at the thought, but soon it disappeared. To visit posh restaurants, she'd need money, and for money, she'd need a job...
However, these thoughts were banished from her mind as she turned around, not remembering the taxi driving up a hill.
"Oh well, mustn't have been paying attention" she said halfheartedly, knowing that she had been soaking up every inch of her surroundings.
Passing the beach (something she distinctly remembers not seeing while driving) she noticed a young woman idly wandering up the beach. She decided that this would be a good time as ever to attempt to make a few friends amongst the locals.
"Hi, my name's Caroline" she said with a smile that she hoped wasn't too desperate.
"Oh, hi, Pauline" she said, also smiling slightly. "I don't remember seeing you around"
"I'm new around here"
"Yeah I thought you sounded like a city girl"
"Ah, about that, you wouldn't happen to know where Oak Grove Road was would you?" She said, praying silently inside.
"Yeah it's up on that hill" Pauline pointed out "go up that road then turn right before the library, then left at the first turning."
"Oh thanks" she laughed slightly, relief filling her.
"If you want to pop over to my house I live over there, that house on the end. I'll be in tomorrow morning if you can make then?"
"Yep say about 9?"
"Great, see you then" Pauline said before walking down onto the dunes.
"Maybe this place isn't so bad after all" Caroline mused.
Sorry about the last picture. It just resisted being placed any where but there.
And apologies for this update being so slow.
