LIE TO YOUR MOTHER. PAY THE PRICE.
Life does not always go to plan, and that is stressful. Gillian's life is in limbo, neither moving backwards nor forwards. She has no long-term career; no short or long-term relationship and her mother thinks her uterus will expire on her next birthday like rotting fruit. All she does have is her anxiety and a handful of close friends, all of whom are lesbians who seem to delight in her hetero misery. To stall the inevitable judgement of her mother, Gillian lies and tells her she is in a relationship with a woman. It's only a small lie. A white lie really. One to give Gillian time and space from the supposed closing doom of childless singledom. But like all lies, it quickly grows, infesting every part of her life. The lie was not meant to hurt anyone, least of all Gillian herself.
