The One Night Stand
Workings

Kara is finishing her review in the apartment, while enjoying a cup of coffee and her homemade pancakes. Jane's boss, let Kara work out of the office.

Kara misses her friend Claire who is married to Kenny.

"Hi Claire!" kara's greeting via video call.

"Hi Kara, how are you?"

"I'm fine. Are you on vacation?"

"Today I'm off, last night I was at night, just got home this morning."

"Oh, I'm sorry, interrupting your rest."

"It's okay. You're not working?"

"I work, but now I'm more flexible, can work outside the office."

"Hi Aunt Kara, when did you get me to waffle again?" Princess Claire greeted Kara.

"Hi Nina! Tomorrow if Auntie's on vacation there, stop by the tavern huh. Auntie treat waffles eat as much!"

"Hurie...!" Nina shouted in excitement, Claire and Kara laughed at her behavior.

"Auntie, this is Noah!" Nina pulled a boy in front of the camera, the boy waved his hand greeting Kara with a smile. For a moment Kara was silent, surprised to see the boy across there, she felt like she was seeing someone she knew very well.

"Already Nina, mom was chatting with Aunt Kara. Take Noah to the tree house, you bring food there!" Claire breaks Kara's daydream.

"Hi, Kara, I'm sorry son." Claire looked at Kara.

"Whose son is that?"

"That's Stella's son, Kenny's friend. Stella works in the same hospital as me. He's a doctor. She's Kevin's ex-lover, Cindy's sister-in-law." Claire explained. Claire's last words brought Kara's heart to a halt for a moment. Kara tried to stay calm.

"Then Noah?"

"You mean his father?" ask Claire.

"Yes" Kara nodded.

"Stella has always kept Noah's father's identity a secret" Claire whispered, making Kara curious.

"Right now Stella is pursuing her love in Washington. He's going to look for Kevin there, it just so happens that he's at an event with a doctor in Washington."

Kara is listening to Claire tell her about Stella. His mind floated, remembering Kevin.

"Kara's... Kara's... Hahoo....!" Claire broke her daydream.

"Oh... Sorry, I'm just a little tired."

"Alright, rest well, eat regularly and plenty. Your body looks thinner. Take care of your health..!" Claire often reminds Kara of her health.

"alright... Oh..!" Kara waved to Claire.

Kara clutches her phone, thinking about all of Claire's stories about Kevin and Stella.

Ting! Incoming messages.

Good morning, have a good day. Miss you.

Kara reads a message from Kevin while smiling cynically.

Kara patted her head, face down on the table.

Kara stood walking towards the balcony of her room to breathe fresh air.

Kara wants to tell Kevin about her new job, but he is canceled after hearing Claire's story. It was unfair to only hear from one side, but his female instincts said there was something else that Kevin had hidden from him.

Kara finished her work, she wanted to distract him for a moment by walking down the street.

Kara's headed to Aunt Mary's barn. From a distance he saw Andy was busy arranging the place. Seeing Kara coming, Andy hugged her.

"My sister, you've finally come. How's work?"

"Of course I'll come help."

"It's yours, I'm taking the truck, to go to a culinary festival in the park. Your part is to take care of that with Ben," Andy begins to launch a strategy of work.

"You mean, my tetep?" ask Kara wonder.

"Half of the taverns are yours anyway, I'd rather open a pop-up restaurant like it is today. I need you Kara, to grow this business."

Kara looked at Andy for a while.

"I'll try to help you."

Andy smiled happily hearing Kara agree to help him.

Kara's headed for the truck, seeing preparations to sell. Seeing Kara coming, Ben smiled in welcome.

Kara just laughed at Ben's welcome.

Kara wears an apron with a shop logo, starts making jam and prepares toppings for pancakes and waffles. Kara weighs and mixes all ingredients, stirring pancake batter and waffles.

Foodtruck walk towards the city park, today is the opening of culinary festival event. People were very excited to welcome the event. There is also a music show in the park. Kara forgot her problem a little.

The aroma of coffee and waffles and pancakes spread everywhere, visitors are interested in trying.

One by one people came to order in Kara's shop.

It was getting dark and the dough was running out for today.

Kara, Ben, and Timmy applauded ending today's all-out sale.

Ben drove Kara home in a food truck.

Kara went up to her room, her body feeling tired.

After taking a bath he laid himself on the bed and his eyes began to shut.

The phone rang waking up the sleeping Kara.

"Hello.." Sapa Kara with laziness.

"Kara, is Tumben asleep?"

"Yes.."

"You sound so tired?" ask Kevin.

"Yes, I was helping Andy. He's at a culinary festival in the city park."

"Yes! Well I'd really like to meet Andy and try his cooking."

"He's a talented chef" Kara said.

"Yes yes.... Tomorrow I'm back in Washington, I can't wait to see you."

"Yes, I'll see you tomorrow Kev, bye!" Kara hung up her phone and put it on the table. Kara was still ringing Claire's story this morning about Kevin and Stella, and the boy whose face felt familiar to her.

Kara stares at the photo of Josh and herself, Kara feeling there is a secret that Claire is hiding from her.

What are the secrets between Josh, Kevin, Kenny, and Stella? In Kara's head it's that swirling around.

In another section, Kevin hung up his phone. He felt that some days something had changed from Kara. His heart felt unsettled, he wanted to go home soon to meet his idol.

***

When the plane lands in Washington, Kevin orders a taxi to Kara's office. Kevin wanted to surprise her. But once there Kara is not in the office, because it is doing coverage outside the office.

Kevin called Kara, "Hallo!"

"Where are you, Kara?"

"Oh, I'm at a taco restaurant, what's up?"

"When is it home?"

"Maybe the night, after I've finished my coverage straight to Andy's restaurant."

"All right, see you later" Kevin hung up his phone and headed home a little disappointed not to see Kara.

****

Stella stands in front of a building, reading her address back.

"Yes, this is the place!" mumbling Stella.

Stella stepped into the building towards the receptionist.

"Is Kevin Johnson around?" stella asked the receptionist.

"So Mom, I'll check first" the receptionist smiled kindly as she pressed the numbers on the phone.

Stella waits patiently as the receptionist examines Kevin's truth.

"Sorry Mom, Mr. Kevin doesn't seem to have returned from his official trip yet."

Kara thanked the receptionist, then stepped up.

Why Kevin doesn't care anymore. Does he have my replacement? Stella sighed, walking towards the foodtruck near the city park. He smelled a very good coffee.

Stella stepped onto the truck, her familiar logo, and she smiled. My favorite coffee shop is here too.

Stella orders coffee and waffles, at which time Kara is serving her. But they don't know each other.
