Part 1

"experiment": a course of action tentatively adopted without being sure of the outcome.

An experiment is what Ingrid embarked on in London when she spilled her vanilla cappuccino all over Craig's crisp white shirt. He's good, easy fun - makes her laugh and buys her dinner. But what happens when nice-guy Craig asks more of bad-girl Ingrid than the semblance of carefree commitment she manages to muster in his presence?

Will she run for the hills and leave him heartbroken in her wake...or will she continue the experiment until a less hazardous outcome naturally occurs?
