Sally – the one who binds the trio of friends with laughter and wit but also laced with a delicacy un seen by others fudged by her boisterous ways. Her large and strong persona belies the sensitive woman beneath. Copping with lost and unrequited love Sally has plied years of protective fat around her body, a cocoon shutting out all thoughts of love, thus protecting her from unwanted attention from the opposite sex, as her heart was so badly bruised, the bruising, in time, morphed into anger. And so it goes. The rocky road of love is paved with shards of glass, and precipice cliffs. Large amounts of chocolate have become her lovers. Beneath her brash and often loud behaviours’ manner, one always with a quick joke and smart-assed comment, masks a formidable character, one to be reckoned with. As the spiteful “Angel” the arch-enemy at Horizon, and the three girls nemesis would find out. But Sally hoards a secret, one when exposed makes those around her take stock of what they perceived her to be. All is not as it seems.
