No Beginning, No End (PDF)

"What if that's all there was? If I don't need you looking after me no more are you still gonna want me?"

The first time they were together was a messy, jagged jigsaw of interlocking flaws. Seven years later, Lindsay Brown and Pip Valentine have got back together and are taking a shot at normal life with 9-to-5s, family Christmas, and babysitting duties. But these things don't come easily, especially when you've got a baggage train of violence, drugs, crime and sex in your past following you around. Once the giddy rush of reuniting fades, Pip and Lindsay realise they've both changed so much that it's more like starting over than picking up where they left off. As they fall back into some of their old patterns and try new things from dating to dogging, will what they have now be enough to keep them together? All too soon, life or death events intervene to decide for them.
