The chalk line1984

At seventeen years old and totally inexperienced, Rowena had no idea how to cope with a sophisticate like Leo Vincent. She had naively told him of her love, had given him her heart, her body, and he had taken both, used them callously for his pleasure, and then abandoned her without, apparently, a second thought. Six years later, circumstances have seen them become temporary housemates; sharing the same house - but with a 'Chalk Line' drawn down the middle for his side of the house and hers. Rowena, now matured by life and engaged to another man, should have been able to face Leo on more equal terms. But could she in fact? And did she even genuinely want to?
