About Begin Again | ongoing Novel
She can't bear the awkward stages of getting to know someone only to find, after investing too much time, that they won't work out. She can't bear to let herself fall for a girl only to find out she's straight. She can't bear the thought of someone getting to know her and only then realising it wasn't worth the effort. It's not easy being a lesbian in 1999. If she could just wake up one day and be in a relationship, all those stages skipped, that would be ideal . No painful first dates, just a fully-fledged relationship with someone who already loves her exactly as she is.
Of course, she doesn't expect that to actually happen. But the universe works in mysterious ways. When Sunny speaks the her desire out loud one night after work, at the exact moment that she trips and loses her bus fare down the wishing well she walks past every day, she thinks nothing of it - until she wakes up in a strange flat with a woman she doesn't recognise. A woman who, according to her friends, has been her girlfriend for over a year.
