Real Circumstance presents: Our Share of Tomorrow
He asked her out when they were sitting on the Quay. She was fifteen, he a year older, and they were very happy. But then she had to go away – something to do with her parents. So he sat on the Quay waiting for her. And one day she came back.
Our Share of Tomorrow is a love story.
