I'm Mela Nesbitt, knee bush.

I worked with Elizabeth side by side.

A fantastic friend.

We just did lots of things together.

We went everywhere together.

Mela had a brother called Damien, who became Elizabeth's boyfriend.

They got together.

I was the little gooseberry.

I was always stuck between the two of them.

Damien, I love you.
