What Happens Now
Details:
'I was pregnant with the baby of a man I had met once.
What was one normally left with after a first date? A bad case of thrush?'
After eight years together, Lil Bailey thought she'd already found 'the one' - that is, until he dumped her for a blonde 20-something colleague. So she does what any self-respecting singleton would do: swipes right, puts on her best bra and finds herself on a first date with a handsome mountaineer called Max. What's the worst that can happen?
Well it's pretty bad actually. First Max ghosts her and then, after weeing on a stick (but mostly her hands), a few weeks later Lil discovers she's pregnant. She's single, 31 and living in a thimble-sized flat in London - it's hardly the happily ever after she was looking for.
Lil's ready to do the baby thing on her own - it can't be that hard, right? But she should probably tell Max, if she can track him down. Surely he's not that Max, the highly eligible, headline-grabbing son of Lord and Lady Rushbrooke, currently trekking up a mountain in South Asia? Oh, maybe he wasn't ignoring Lil after all....
