At first she was nervous and defensive as we settled down to eat.
Red wine mellowed her down gradually but wonderfully. An unceasing stream of words flowed from her lips, I revelled in the delivery, her relaxed tone, her moving lips. Soothing music rounded out the atmosphere.

Nothing signified that she had a boyfriend.
