One chance encounter might just change everything…
Betty met Guy on the day her life changed. Attending a team bonding paintballing session PA Betty was multi-tasking taking out her colleagues and ensuring that the buffer lunch she had ordered arrived on time. She bumps into Guy, hiding away from the action in a hut. He’s there on a stag activity organised by his best mate and they get talking, sharing a G&T in a tin and using his handkerchief when it fizzes over. As she leaves she is hit by a car as she crosses the road and leaves her heading back to her hometown in Wales to recover.
Guy is still getting his head around the fact that his now-wife had an affair whilst they were on a break which resulted in her falling pregnant with the much-wanted baby he always dreamt of. For four months they played happy families before Sarah had a DNA test completed on Maud. On a downward spiral, he is surprised to find his handkerchief returned to him in the mail from Betty. Kickstarting a pen pal friendship of sorts, except they only share the truths they wish were true not their realities.
As their lives interweave they meet again in person and slowly begin to share truths from their lives and blur the line of friendship. But is Guy ready to leave his ready-made family behind? Is Betty ready to overcome hurts from the past and stop sabotaging her future?
