Geri's friend Karen is the kind of friend who'll tell you if your breath smells or your skirt is tucked into your knickers. That's one of the things friends are for – that's assuming you really want to know, they pick a good moment to tell you and are doing it for your benefit, not theirs.

This 2900 word short story is also published in one of Patsy's many themed collections of short stories, each of which contains 24 stories.
