At the club, Kate was surprised to see a familiar figure. She wondered why Daisy hadn't called her, they could have gone clubbing together. She was only there herself because a friend had dragged her out. As Kate walked nearer, she could see that Daisy wasn't in too good a state. She seemed to be talking in the general direction of a group of three friends dancing together. 'Hey, it's good here, isn't it. Have you been here before?'

The group of friends pulled faces at one another, and ignored Daisy. 'Rude.'

Kate tapped Daisy on the shoulder, 'Hey, hi!'

Daisy turned unsteadily, 'Oh hi. Fancy seeing you here!' She lunged for a hug, and Kate coughed away the smell of alcohol wafting over her.

'Yes, I haven't been for a while.' Kate had never seen her like this before, and was trying to assess the situation.

'You should, you need to get out. Let your hair down.' Daisy grabbed a handful of Kate's hair for emphasis.

Kate smiled and nodded, gently extricating her hair from Daisy's grip. Oh boy, she is very drunk. Daisy stumbled, and Kate tried to steady her, 'Okay, here we go. I think we need to get you sitting down.'

'No, I want to dance. Dance with me, Kate.' She made some erratic movements with her arms. Then she grabbed Kate's shoulders, trying to sway her with the music. Kate had to half dance to get Daisy to move, worried that if she didn't sit down, she might fall down. Making their way across the dance floor was interesting, to say the least. Daisy kept trying to pull Kate in to dance, but in doing so nearly pulled her to the floor a couple of times. When Kate eventually managed to steer Daisy to the sofa, she breathed a sigh of relief. Daisy plonked herself down heavily, causing the air to expel from the cushions noisily, and making her giggle.

Kate couldn't help laughing at Daisy, before asking, 'What are you doing here?'

Daisy screwed up her face, trying to focus her eyes properly on Kate, 'Um, I don't know any other clubs.'

Not quite what she meant. 'How about we call it a night? I'll call a cab.'

'But I've only just got here, and the night is young. I don't want to go home.' She crossed her arms across her chest.

Kate sighed, ruffling her fingers through her tousled hair. 'Okay, but can we sit for a bit, I needed a rest anyway. I think I'm getting a bit old for this.'

Daisy seemed to suddenly find this fascinating. She leaned forward, resting her chin on her hand, her elbow on her knee, 'How old are you?'

'Thirty four.'

'That's so young. Kate, I'm the one who's getting too old.' Daisy looked glum.

A couple of soft drinks later, Kate managed to talk Daisy into leaving. She still hadn't found out why she was at the club, or why she was already inebriated.

Back at Daisy's, Kate paid the cab driver, and he sped off into the night. Kate had a spare key now, as she often looked after Jess, so at least she didn't have to search for Daisy's.
