Vince and Joy

In July 1986, Vince and Joy meet at a holiday camp and are attracted to each other while in their late teens.

Vince told Joy he had a really bad underbite and that his mother was married to his stepfather, Chris.

[2] The following morning, Joy and her family have suddenly vanished, leaving only a note in ink on the step of Vince's caravan.

In April 2003, Vince finishes telling his friends the story and they advise him to find Joy.

The happy ending occurs in October 2003 when, after running into an old friend of Joy's, Vince is encouraged to see her and is given her address.
