Stella, a FIFO wife and mum of two, is suffering from lust-sickness. Dave, her husband of many years, is too tired to provide the just-desserts Stella is pining for when he comes home from the Pilbara mine he works at. When Dave is away, he and Stella talk nightly over Skype, which gives Stella and her school-mum friends, Jess and Nina, an idea for how to ramp-up her and Dave's souring romance, nicknaming it 'Skype-Gate'. They produce a list of 'sexy' things Stella is to do when she's Skyping with Dave, but as with all best-laid plans, Stella's attempts at online seduction don't go the way she hopes, leaving her and Dave feeling downright unsavoury. Will Stella ever manage to fire Dave up enough to secure some bedroom treats when he comes home? Or will her efforts to introduce some sweet delights into the bedroom be an end to their love, and quite possibly, Dave? Find out in this quirky, laugh-out-loud novelette.
