Re: Dining room interaction.
"I feel..." Ellie took Laura's hand and placed it on her heart. "Like you're in here. And that keeps me warm, but..."
She floundered her arms helplessly. "But when you go off with boys and do stuff, that makes me cold, and sad. And I like kissing you, cos that makes me warm, but when you tell me that I don't know what I want, that makes me cold." God, she sounded like a three year old and she knew it, but her head was rather fuzzy and it was an effort just to get words out, let alone words that made sense, so in a way she thought she had done rather well.
