Synopsis
Breigh wants to end her relationship with Hannah, not because of anything that Hannah has done but because she wants to turn heterosexual. Hannah is extremely upset by this, not just because it is the end of her relationship with her soul mate, but because she had given up everything in her life to be with Breigh - her family, her job and her religion. But it wasn’t always this way; there was a time when both of them were madly in love with each other and if anything, Breigh was chasing her.
In the beginning of the relationship, Breigh was not shy about going after Hannah, or any girl for that matter, and she always got what she wanted. Hannah wasn’t exactly sure what she was doing or what she was getting herself into but she didn’t care. Dinka, their flatmate, was at the other end of her relationship having just broken up with her fiancée. She says she’s over him but she isn’t. She stalks him on Facebook all the time and is extremely upset when he has moved onto another relationship, despite the fact that the relationship ended in the first place because of her cheating.
Hannah refuses to accept that the relationship is over and tries to keep it together while her former lover is trying to become a heterosexual. But turning straight isn’t as easy as Breigh thought it would be, because now instead of dealing with women, she has to deal with men, and men have a tendency to be very bad at sending mixed signals. Hannah is at the very least able to hold out hope because Breigh is unable to consummate her heterosexuality and so reconciliation seems possible.
