An Uplifting Evening (Storycuts)

An Uplifting Evening (Storycuts)

Endlessly taking clothes to the laundrette, cooking and cleaning is all going to be worth it to be Mrs Colin Lang. Until a disastrous night out with Colin's work colleagues, and an encounter with a scruffy-yet-sexy artist at the laundrette, leads a very dutiful girlfriend to go delightfully astray.

Part of the Storycuts series, this short story was previously published in the collection Lisa & Co.
