Graeme Simsion Quote

I was feeling overwhelmed. Meeting Bianca, dancing, rejection by Bianca, social overload, discussion of personal matters—now, just when I thought the ordeal was over, Rosie seemed to be proposing more conversation. I was not sure I could cope.‘It’s extremely late,’ I said. I was sure this was a socially acceptable way of saying that I wanted to go home.‘The taxi fares go down again in the morning.’If I understood correctly, I was now definitely far out of my depth. I needed to be sure that I wasn’t misinterpreting her.
