Win or lose

Sara Mellor works as a journalist, and she has come to see that marriage demands more than attraction. Her husband, Dave, is a famous sportsman whose appeal is undeniable, yet she now understands that the two of them confused physical desire with real love. The problem was never the intimacy they shared. Their differing lives outside the bedroom drove them apart, and Sara has reached the point where she believes divorce is the only way forward. Dave's refusal to meet her halfway has not helped.

Before he will release her so she can marry another man, Dave asks Sara for one final favour.
