Of course - as you've no doubt guessed - there's a big 'But Then' moment heading this way...
It's a sunny, spring day in East London.
On a street corner, two teenagers kiss.

But someone is watching.
Someone who doesn't care about her happiness at all.
And they're about to change Toni's life... forever.
