I've been wracking my brain, trying to remember what this reminds me of. It's been driving me crazy. But I think I've realised that it's not a film or a TV series or a book, but an amalgamation of my early teenage anxieties. Like I've said many times, your writing always feels so familiar to me, and this is no exception.

I'd like to know more about Angie, I think that as a character she's got the potential to be a really interesting side character. I like how there's a lot of backstory alluded to, and it makes me want to know more.

I'd also like to know how she knows what the tenner is for. Because although there's kind of an unspoken understanding, what about this particular act is familiar to her? Do other people pay her? This is heartbreaking and adds another layer of pathos to an already pretty dire situation.

I look forward to the next chapter, and maybe more spin off stories?

Take care mate.
