SS5 p38 Getting over Lucy
skyangel on March 8, 2014
I know it looks as though Lucy is out of the pic for good but as someone pointed out, both girls live locally so the chances of them meeting again are pretty good. I wanted to pull the girls away from each other for a while too so that Sarah can date some other interesting girls.
Although the main storyline is pretty much set in stone the wonderful thing about doing this as a webcomic is that it gives me the chance to listen to your views and preferences and that really does help influence the final script writing especially when I realise some characters could do with more focus than others. Janey's a clear example of that. I've naturally given her a real back seat in this chapter as she deserves to be put on the naughty chair but I know there are a few readers who have missed seeing her around so it would be interesting to hear your views on her after reading this page.
Have a lovely week :)

It is still possible for a couple in Sarah & Janey's position/situation to still get back together and spend the rest of their very long lives happy. Specially if, as in their case, it was their first relationship. How do you really know they are "the one" if you haven't even _dated_ someone else? It is possible, but how do you _know_ if you don't spend time apart and with (an) other(s)?

Many divorced couples are better friends than they were mates, they understand each other however they can't stand to live together for any length of time. Sometimes they remain occasional lovers go on vacations as a family go to conferences as parents and both remain involved with children. An ideal solution, however I would only caution Sarah this, Janey is with someone now and IF she cheats WITH YOU she will cheat ON YOU. Burn me once shame on you, burn me twice shame on me because I wasn't smart enough to learn the first time.

The time has come for Sarah to face the past.

I love to read the comments, I didn't notice the little girl was actually playing with Doctor Who's toys. I was focused on Sarah talking to Janey. It's comforting that they still talk. I would love to see more from Lucy, but you can't make me decide between her and Janey, I think it's no fair to Lucy or anyone new in Sarah's life since we hadn't have a chance to know them yet.

Of course Sarah would still be able totalk to Janey, they were together for a long time, and even though they split, never felt there was any real animosity (hurt and maybe a touch of betrayal for Sarah, but no animosity). Sarah told Janey about Lucy? o_O

Well Kim', I already said over on "smackchappie" that I want the Lucy thing (even if we go back to you-know-who later). The Dr.Who thing reminds me of my granddaughters (Have you seen my..? - No!, and it's in her hand) B-)

Hi Kim, Oh lovely, this is exactly the sort of comment I was hoping for!:) I must admit I've seen it go both ways. My dad used to treat mum pretty badly when we were kids but after she left him she was quite happy to still be friends but he's never got over the fact that 'she left him' even now, some 40 yrs later even though he was the one that drove her away. Love is a very strong emotion though and Sarah is still struggling between sadness and anger as we'll see in coming pages. I pretty much ended up writing two endings for this, one favouring Lucy and one getting back with Janey and I'll admit I've been torn between which way to go but I won't ever reveal my final decision before the last page. As the weeks go by though I will be influenced by the reactions of the readers to certain pages for sure. The other dates are really more just fillers and my chance to have some fun as well as making the story more colourful.

I've always envied people that can still be good chat-buddies when they used to be intense lovers. I've never been able to do it. In this story, you can have some other girls come along, but I really wanna see Lucy again... just sayin' haha!
