Last week Becky was super busy colouring our contribution to the Duck's anthology project and colouring on this page had to be held back so we could meet the deadline but hopefully from here on we will be able to update regularly again!

But I feel this week I should give a quick recap on events being as we have had a 2 week space between pages, so you may recall…

Sarah has parted from Janey on good terms and now intends focusing on new relationship with Lucy. She's already been spending some nights at Lucy's flat and intends to move in properly after the concerts out of the way but she has just returned to the flat and caught Laura (Lucy's ex) as she is about to leave, which has given them both a chance to discuss their personal feelings.

Next week: Sarah's bad dreams continue.

The truth is often a good reason in itself but I totally understand Laura, here. Other than possibly getting some closure, this experience really hasn't helped her too terribly much and certainly does not contribute to her overall happiness unless she chooses to be content with simply associating with Lucy again. But she's obviously still in love given the line "We're the needy ones," along with her reaction to Sarah's actions at Colors. She sort of lost out all over again.

You know, that is something that I have not considered - that Lucy felt that loss so badly that Laura was the 'ghost' within her current relationship. I wonder if Lucy will ever find out. :)

Gemi: That line 'we're the needy ones' is the most significant one on this page because it does reveal a lot about how Laura interprets her entire relationship with Lucy and how she sees Sarah as being just as easily discarded but in fact when Sarah first met Lucy, it was Laura's memory that was the biggest stumbling block (Lucy was putting flowers on her 'grave' every week etc.) So this is an indication Lucy hasn't shared any of that yet.

This is a talk that needs to happen for sure, hope it continues. I feel for Laura, she has been traumatized and bullied and she wants to make sure that it doesn't happen again; hence the hard shell. She's been such a vague figure and she's becoming a little more real. I think your drawing on this page reflects that.

Fred: You nailed it there. Nobody has ever discussed how she feels until now and I think it will come as a shock to Sarah to discover Lucy hasn't either. It's something that will be dealt with very soon though as Sarah forces her to confront the situation head on.

Dear Sky, "Were the needy ones"?Speak for your self young lady! Think Laura needs a self esteem boost. I cant understand why she regrets Sarah finding her, Is she that heart broken ? I suppose so. Sarah did do the right thing in finding Laura, Will Sarah now become Laura's shrink? tommym

Tommym: Laura's been through some really traumatic stuff so I guess her natural defence is to push people away before they can make her feel too vulnerable. You know what sort of a mess Sarah makes of trying to do good :)

Nic and Ben: I'm glad the anthology pages are done and out of the way now. It was great fun to do something different to SS for a change but it's kinda weird working on a love story and a horror one at the same time!
