The Night We First Met

'A beautifully written tale of enduring love' Rowan Coleman One night in December, twenty-two year old Ted Green makes his way to Waterloo Bridge determined to end his life. Lonely, despairing and utterly hopeless, it seems the only choice to make. That same night in December, Marianne Cooper is running away from a party. Having found her boyfriend in a passionate clinch with someone else, Marianne can't get away fast enough. But as she makes her way along London's South Bank, a figure catches her eye on top of the bridge. Then she sees him, a man ready to jump. When Marianne saves Ted's life, this night in December becomes one they'll never forget, but as Ted watches Marianne leave in a black taxi, all he can think is he should have asked her name. In a story spanning twenty years, join Ted and Marianne as they navigate life's twists and turns, joys and heartbreaks, while all the time wondering - will fate ever bring them together again...
