But this morning is different last night Elle and her oldest friend Jonas crept out the aft door into the darkness and had coitus with each other for the first time, all while their consorts gabbled down outside.
Now, over the coming twenty-four hours, Elle will have to decide between the life she has made with her authentically cherished hubby, Peter, and the life she always imagined she'd have had with her nonage love, Jonas if a woeful event hadn't ever changed the course of their lives.
