Waiting to Pop the Question

Gary Whelan

Synopsis

Mary and Shelly used to be neighbours until Shelly and her husband moved away. One day they bump into each other in the street and promise to arrange to catch up over some tea. That day comes sooner than expected as Mary has something she just has to get off her chest. But when it comes down to it, she wonders if she’s doing the right thing. After all, they were never best friends and Mary wouldn’t classify Shelly as being an old-fashioned romantic, like herself. Shelly thinks it’s a great idea that Mary’s coming over. That way she can put aside her own troubles and concentrate on Mary for a little while - but can she?
