What did I do wrong? I know now there must have been something. Nothing in the normal course of things, because i'm sure I covered all those. But there must have been something. Something I missed, some small thing you wanted that I could not predict. My darling, tell me. what did I do wrong?
Oh now I'm getting above myself. Perhaps I did not cover those things you wanted in the normal course of things? Perhaps there was a meal I burnt, or a shirt I singed? Why didn't you say? I would have put it right. I promise I would.

But you didn't. I now know, and nothing I say here takes away from this, you had built up a true and deep platonic friendship with her as she served you every night (and yes, you did go there every night) across that smoky bar. I now understand she is just a purely plutonic friend, but at the time, you see, I didn't know that, and all I could think was 'my boyfriend has taken home the skinny blonde with dry ends (no, I'm not being bitchy. it is a fact if you bleach hair that much, it splits)and
