On The Loose

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be forty and ‘on the loose’ after nearly twenty-three years of marriage?
In Laura Goddard’s whole adult life, she’d been in just one relationship. Never been out, dated or had sex with anyone else, but her childhood sweetheart who turned into boring Brian, her shit of a husband. He ran off with a ‘Miss Norway’ lookalike and there Laura was, uninitiated in either the art of flirting or a satisfying sex life and no idea where to start.
‘Get on the dating sites,’ advised her best mate Teresa who had the social life of an eighteen-year-old even though she had a lazy beanpole of a son and a slightly dotty mother to take care of. ‘Everyone is doing it.’
Mmm, well... that started an interesting journey for Laura. She’d never appreciated that she had a sex drive or that there could be so many variations of a theme!
