would you care for a spot of tea , my friend ? had her world just turned upside down ? she wanted to reach out and touch him , to take that pain away . i needed to think about what i would say to him , and i was so tired that i might not make sense . `` you just seemed like the kind of woman who enjoyed her champagne chilled . '' i was n't trying to hide my interest in her because it was too easy to pretend we were together .
