His partner is determined to nip his 'schoolboy crush' in the bud. She believes it's up to Alice to sort the matter out by demonstrating that she's not the 'mythic sex goddess' of his dreams. Unfortunately for Alice, this is just one of many problems vying for her attention. Also on her mind are some serious ethical issues raised by Cleo's love life, a highly damaging article in the store's in-house magazine and a truly bizarre revelation in her local cemetery. Meanwhile, for Gil, the road to a disastrously ill-judged sexual encounter begins when he attends a court case involving a man who died laughing while watching 'Lollipop Men' - the sitcom he very wisely quit two years previously. He quickly falls under the spell of the beautiful Vanessa. But their plans to spend a romantic evening together come unstuck in an unexpected way. Written by Anonymous See less
