I recall her setting me a deadline to find the money for a taxi while she had a shower. I called, but I didn’t get through. I made an effort to stop her.
This boy lived on our road, so if I had arrived, I would have slept on the sofa until it was safe to go.
I was intoxicated and easily swayed, so even though I really didn’t want to get in the car with her, she is a very cunning person.
