Penelope Woods - Age: 20 - Occupation: Electrician - Interests: Rugby It was little things at first, things I didn't even consider to be an issue. Questions here and there about what I was wearing, or how I wore my hair. We were members of the same rugby club. Best friends turned lovers, living in domesticated bliss, until cracks in our foundation presented themselves. Invites Jack didn't extend and when questioned, he just shrugged and said it was a work thing, that he thought I wouldn't be interested. He'd look sheepish, apologize and we'd move on. He'd whisper words in his sleep that I couldn't quite decipher but when he called out someone else's name during the throes of passion, I could no longer live in denial. So, I let Jack go. I've been raised to love and accept people as they are. I don't know how to be anyone but me. But sometimes even shallow cuts by the ones you love the most cause the deepest wounds and I need to learn to love myself again. Jack Monroe - Age: 24 - Occupation: Consultant for my family's Business - Interests: Rugby, Peneolpe and appeasing family :( I have known I've loved Penny from the very moment she launched herself into my arms after winning the grand final 3 years ago. Penelope is so kind, patient and fun. She is also loud, boisterous and very much the tomboy. When we're in the privacy of our shared home or our rugby world, those things don't matter. However, in my other world, with my well to do family and my role as a consultant for my family's business, unfortunately appearances do matter. Or, so I thought. Will Jack realise he truly loves Penny, warts and all, before it's too late? What does Penny think of the possibility of being with Jack again? "For me to even consider accepting love from Jack again, he'll have to be prepared to take me as I am."
