Summary
"Oh, please tell me you haven’t had an argument with your mother in front of the whole family".
"Worse" Lisa muttered, suddenly looking very interested in the floor. "I lied".
"You? Detective Sergeant Lisa Swain, pillar of truth and justice, told a fib? Colour me intrigued. What did you say?"
"I told them I was already dating someone."
Carla let out a sharp bark of laughter. "No! Brilliant. Who’s the lucky imaginary lady?"
"Mum went into absolute overdrive. She didn't even pause for breath. She immediately declared that if I’ve been seeing someone, they have to come on the family holiday. I started panicking, trying to make up excuses – said she was busy, said she hated the beach, said she had a terrible phobia of flying. But they wouldn't have it. Mum was relentless. She demanded to know her name".
"And? What did you tell her?”
"I said Carla"

Summary
There’s excitement in the air at Weatherfield Primary School when a police officer comes to deliver a talk to one of the classes. Teachers and teaching assistants alike are readying themselves for the arrival of a, hopefully, tall, dark and handsome policeman. How will the staff react when, instead, the tiny, blonde and beautiful DS Swain rocks up to the building?

Summary
She didn't want to die, not really. She just wanted to stop feeling.

Summary
A heavy sigh.
Almost sounds like defeat but they both know better.
Carla doesn’t give up easily, she gets what she wants and right now (well all the time really if she’s honest) she wants her tiny, stubborn blonde detective to give her attention, cure her boredom.
Put the bloody book down.
The book that is currently her competition in this little game.
Pfft as if the book stands a chance.
She’s Carla bloody Connor.

Summary
When Carla is hired for Lisa's birthday party, their connection is instant. I can't really describe the plot in more detail than that because honestly, there isn't much of one. It's very smutty. I do apologise. I don't know what's happened to my brain. Maybe it's the weather or the loss of One Night Stand!
AU - Lisa isn't widowed and doesn't have Betsy. Carla has a slightly different history. And they're both 40.
