Despite her taking the lead, by the time we were down two halves, she was barely clinging to life — her chest heaving at a respiratory rate of nearly two breaths per second.
I remember her saying, “You are a very strange boy; I thought you were innocent…”

She’s happily married to some engineer now, with three kids..
