“In that case, it's good that you're a human Cuisinart," she said.

“Forgive me. It was stupid of me to think you might need company, when clearly all you required was that decanter.â€�

“It was not stupid. It was very kind. Quite soft, actually. A very warm, womanly gesture. I am touched.â€� He smiled softly. “However, if you truly want to help, if you really want to distract me, there are better ways. When I saw that dress, I dared hope you had realized that.”
