Dave Jones looks pretty average to most people. He has been married for 10 years to a woman he met at work called Elizabeth. He calls her Beth and so does everyone else. Dave and Beth have two daughters aged 8 and 6. Dave works as a financial controller for a local company in the Basingstoke area of Southern England. They have a two bedroom semi-detached house, a mortgage (of course) and two cars. Very ordinary. Very middle England.
For holidays, they sometimes go abroad or sometimes go camping in Cornwall. It depends on Dave's end of year bonus. Beth works at the kid's school as a teaching assistant but doesn't earn much.
Their marriage is a stable one. By that I mean, neither has ever strayed and they get on reasonably well with most of the usual stress being centred on money or the kids. Holidays are something they all look forward to together. Dave and Beth usually find they relax more and feel more in the mood for sex.
Sex is usually a few times a month. Dave will try to initiate it more often than Beth says yes but on the whole he isn't complaining. At five foot six and very slim, Beth is the envy of most of her friends and the other mums at school. She still has a sexy body although her tits are smaller than Dave would like. No big deal to him though.
In 2007, they take off in the summer for two weeks at a campsite in Cornwall. The first week passes uneventfully but the second week sees a new crowd arrive and one family in particular. Same age as Dave and Beth and also two kids the same ages. His name is Bob and his wife is called Rose. Both of them are well mannered and the kids all seem to hit it off so as each day passes in the second week the two families spend more time together each day and by the middle of the week they are eating together and sitting out in the evenings when the kids are asleep.
Rose gets quite flirty when she is drinking. Beth is comfortable with this and Dave politely plays down her flirtations. Bob seems more interested in talking to Beth.
On the second to last day, Beth has taken off with the kids leaving Dave to himself. He spends the time getting showered in the onsite showering facilities and then decides to tidy up the large tent they are staying in. He finds himself doing this with just a towel wrapped round him.
