    Summary

    “Can’t believe you’re making your bird sleep on the sofa,” Carla mutters to Ben once she’s swallowed a mouthful. “I don’t even date and even I know that’s a huge red flag, baby bro.”

    “Nobody’s sleeping on the sofa,” Johnny says firmly. “Lisa, you can share with Carla whilst you’re here.”

    Lisa’s eyes turn to the size of saucers and she starts shaking her head in protest. “Oh, no, I don’t think that’d be—”

    “What’s wrong with Carla?” Rob teases.

    “We’ve all been trying to figure that one out for years, mate,” Ben quips before anyone else can get a word in.

    Summary

    Newcastle University, 2004, three eighteen year olds meet and become firm friends. But while her new friends are confident in their own identity, 18 year old Lisa Swain is still figuring herself out.

    After uni, Lisa finds herself settling down in the north east, getting married and having a baby. But when Lisa's wife is killed in a hit and run, she moves back to the Manchester area with her daughter to start afresh.

    Four years after losing her wife, Lisa is lonely. Letting herself be set up on a blind date might turn out to be a terrible plan. But, then again, maybe it might just turn out to be the best thing Lisa ever did.

     

    (Eve Panesar-Unwin is a character in this, but she is written in a way that you don't need to know anything about her for this to make sense. So non-Eastenders fans can treat her like an original character.)

    Summary

    The pain in her chest becoming unbearable.

    The image of Carla’s tear stained face wedged behind her eyelids like a cruel joke.

    She leans up against the cold hard wall outside.

    The cool air slapping her face like a much needed reprieve from whatever the fuck that was inside.

    Her body doubled over, the palms of her hands resting on her thighs trying to somehow ground herself.

    Her breathing is heavy and shallow.

    The first signs of a panic attack rising through her body with speed.

    Tears threaten to spill from her eyes.

    What the fuck just happened?

    Carla kissed her.

    Carla fucking kissed her.
