Female independence, strength, vulnerability and friendship

2018 · 13 min

LAUREN (24) wakes up with her ex GREG (27) next to her, and a sense of not-again regret. But this time feels different. As she and ELLEN (25) plough on with the minutiae of life (hangovers and low-paid bar jobs), LAUREN worries that she hasn’t been as careful as she might, and that maybe these trysts have forced a different future. The prospect of a child, of pregnancy, of Greg in her life now and forever. The certainty, the surely not, and the friend who makes her feel better – that’s Late.
