Waiting for a Bright New Future

Stuart's not sure about having a lodger. And he's not used to Florence, an ageing tribute band singer who's full of life. Nor the pairs of voluminous knickers left to dry on every spare surface in the bathroom. Florence is everything Stuart has never allowed himself to be: bold, fearless, unabashedly herself. He's spent his life putting everyone's needs ahead of his own, avoiding risks and hiding from chances. Soon Florence is persuading Stuart to dance with her in the kitchen. And when his childhood sweetheart shows up again, it's Florence who encourages him to make his move. Florence can see how much he's changed, even if he won't admit it. But Stuart has changed. He's no longer the timid man he was when they first met. Life is about to give Stuart a second chance, if only he has enough courage to grasp it . . .
