"Hello? Danny? What do you... what?
"Danny! For God's sake! Get over it will you?
"Yes... I know you feel guilty. You've already told me that... but it happened! We can't go back and change it, can we?
"Look... I know it shouldn't have happened. We've been over that already. Face it, Danny... I'm your best friend's wife and you fucked me!
"No... that's not a complaint... you know it isn't.
"Listen, if it makes you feel any better, it was exactly what I needed... and I've no regrets as long as John doesn't find out. You're the one with the problem...not me!
"No... I don't mean that I planned it! Well... not exactly... I mean...what? Okay... you want the truth?
"Right, then... yes, I was. I was hoping something would happen. Does that answer your question?
"No, Danny. Well... okay... I'll admit I've always had a bit of a 'thing' about you. Yes... even before I married John...okay? But I swear I'd never have done anything about it if it hadn't been for the accident... and that's the God's honest truth!
"No... I wouldn't, Danny... not ever! Yes, I know I used to flirt with you... but it was just a bit of fun...and John knew all about it. If it hadn't been for... "That's easy for you to say, Danny... but I'm a normal, healthy woman with normal, healthy needs. Remember, John had been away for almost six months before the accident... "Yes... that's right! And it's been almost another four since then... and they can't even tell us how long it might be before...
"Oh, yeah... so how come you weren't thinking about that last Friday?
"Oh... come on! Don't be such a hypocrite, Danny! I didn't need to seduce you... you've been wanting to get into my pants for years!
"Well... it's true! I mean... I'm sorry if it wasn't as good as you'd been expecting it to...
"What?
"Well... thank you, kind sir. And to be honest, I didn't have anything to complain about either!
"Yes... that's what I said... I've always... sort of...fancied you. How many times do you want me say it?
"Danny! Stop laughing at me, you rotten sod! Anyway, I don't think I fancied you as much as you fancied me.
"Well... at least it stopped you making fun of me!
"No... I wouldn't...really. It's only since John's accident... no, honestly... the longer he wasn't available...I mean...well... the more I thought about it...you know... with you.
"That's not funny, Danny! Anyway, there's only so much fun you can have with a plastic tube and a couple of batteries! And stop trying to make me blush!
"So...that's what caused last Friday. I mean... I'll admit I was feeling a bit...
"I was going to say 'restless,' Danny... the word 'horny' didn't enter my mind!
"Oh, by the way... whose idea was it for me to Act as your 'date' at that party? Was it you or John?
"Right... so you told John and he suggested taking me along just in case you 'ex' turned up with some fit bloke, yeah?
"No... that's pretty much what he told me. That's why I put a sexy outfit on.
"No... it wasn't about trying to seduce you... well... not really! In fact, it was John's suggestion... he said it would show that tart that you could do a lot better than her.
"Don't blame me! That's what he said. I don't think he had a very high opinion of whatshername... Shelley...yeah...right. And that's why I was being all lovey-dovey with you.
"No... we'd never met. She didn't know me at all. It wouldn't have worked if... eh? When did what change?
"Oh, I see. Well... I'm not sure, really. I mean... it was a lousy party and I was glad we left early...but I'll admit I was getting a bit turned on dancing with you.
"Hmmm... I don't know. It was probably a contributing factor. I mean, I haven't had that much to drink for a long time.
"No...I wasn't that far gone! It was definitely you that suggested a nightcap at your place... not me! If you'd just brought me home like you were supposed to, you'd have got a little kiss goodnight... and that would have been that! No... that's the truth.
"Yeah, well...I mean...once we were there... your flat's a shit heap, by the way... I didn't see much point trying to pretend we were both gagging for a cup of coffee!
"What? I didn't, did I? Honestly? You're not making that up, are you? You're saying that, as soon as I took my coat off... I asked which was the bedroom?
"Jee-sus! I'm a bit vague about that bit to be honest...
"No... I'm not blaming the drink for what happened... it's just that a few of the details aren't completely clear. I'll tell you what, though... I do remember you trying to hide your dirty magazines under the bed!
"Yeah...right! Since when did Classic Car magazine have two naked females on the front cover?
"Ha Ha! No... it doesn't bother me. Why should it? So, how far into your bedroom did I get before you pounced?
"I'm kidding! Chill out, Danny! No... really... that's something I can remember... you just standing there... looking helpless... as if you didn't know what to do next.
"That's right. That's why I put my arms around your neck. It's why I told you to forget who I was and just react to what you could see.
