<b>Despite their moratorium, it didn't mean the end of the bitter antagonism between the two work rivals.  It had become too ingrained between them. The one thing they could agree on though was that they did not have to be buddy buddy, as Clark had said. It was probably the best for them to keep any interaction down to an absolute minimum and she was relieved when he soon went off again this time for a shower. it would allow her greater freedom finally to be able to unpack and hopefully if he was gone long enough to get ready for later.<br/>

There were mixed views she had about the banquet, though they were mostly negative. She expected it to be a traditional  lūʻau with Hawaiian musicians and dancers that was not quite to her taste.

It was quite unique with its assortment of button closures and strap connections as well as a belt. To set it off, she picked a pair of nude coloured strappy heels s well as a variety of accesories, namely a bracelet with matching earrings but not a necklace which she rarely got on withShe was not really looking forward to the banquet. She was fortunate to have curled hair that takes little looking after excepted when she has washed it. Caitlin also had little time for cosmetics, except for foundation cream, a touch of eyeshade and sometimes light lipstick.<br/>
