Final Idea

Jonathan Windsor: Mid fourties, a dark, mysterious character who appears to be over controlling of Lara to the point of abuse, having driven away most of her friends she now has to contact them behind his back. He is manipulative and cold, deceitful and malicious, cunning and calculated.
Gary Plackett: Mid thirties plumber, a gentleman, kind and considerate he reflects Jonathan's character with a mirror. Very down to earth, he is smitten with Lara and is, although apprehensive, is excited at the prospect of their new life together.
Susan Thurgrove: Lara's supportive best friend, she understands Lara's situation and will do anything she can to ensure Lara's happiness.
'Jay' and 'Simon': Gary's fellow plumbers, hegemonic males.

Lara's lack of motive motivated us to change the narrative.
