Plot
Our film will start off with Rachael and Ben in bed. Rachael suggests to Ben to do something because they haven't seen each other properly for a while, because of work. Ben says that he is busy today, and that it's not possible for him to see her. Rachael catches Ben on the phone, so when he leaves it laying around, she looks through his recent calls to discover he's been on the phone to Savannah and Suzie quite a lot.
She waits while Ben says goodnight and then looks up her friend Leanne, in the phone book. She gets through straight away and they talk about the situation (split screen?!)
They then follow Ben for the next few days gathering suspicious evidence against him; they see him go into a jeweller's and in a car with Savannah, and see him out in a club with Suzie, and in a cafe with both of them, deep in conversation, laughing and joking about.
Takes pictures etc.etc. Snapshots on screen. Rachel has decided she has seen enough to make up her mind.
Suzie and Savannah ask Leanne to meet them because they have something to tell her. Rachel assumes that she is telling them that they've been having an affair, so she sends Ben a picture saying it's over, just before she storms into meet Suzie and Savannah. She then starts shouting at them, accusing them of cheating and that she hates them both and that Ben is a horrible person, when all her friends and family walk slowly into the room, as if they have been there ready to surprise her. Ben turns rounds, looking at his phone, looking absolutely gutted.
Rachael's face is shocked as she sees an engagement cake with her and Ben
