Synopsis

Darlene’s birthday loomed, and her family was determined to orchestrate a surprise celebration. Lee, meanwhile, planned a visit to the Body Boost pool, citing a need for cardiovascular exercise – though Stacey suspected his true motive lay in observing the clientele. Nicole had persuaded her mother to release a thousand pounds from her savings. Craig’s mother, it seemed, was far more invested in his outing with Darlene than he was himself.
