WOLE: Meeting With Fate
I had to see Lola.I couldn’t concentrate at work all day after I read her text this morning. She was really going to break up with me. Over this? I thought what we had was special, but apparently not. She had been refusing to get in touch with me for...

My company was definitely not getting their money’s worth from me today. I stared blankly at my computer without really taking in the report I was supposed to be reading. I very nearly phoned in sick this morning, but then I remembered that I had tak...
TEMMY: The Best Plans Go Wrong
I arrived home late, after work on Monday evening and slumped onto my love seat facing the window. I was still quite numb from all the events of the past week. Yesterday, I almost dialled Maureen’s number for our usual girl chats. I had to stop mysel...
LOLA: Saying Our Goodbyes
Lola, what are you doing? I thought you were going to take your time with getting to know this guy, yet somehow he’s convinced you to spend the weekend with him in Milton Keynes! This isn’t the way to take things slow, is it? Silly girl, silly girl...
LOLA: Why is Life Complicated?
The digital clock on the white wall showed it was 6:43AM. My friends and I were huddled together on the uncomfortable chairs, watching the nurses in their blue uniforms coming and going. The four of us were still in the intensive care unit, waiting for...
