You made a lovely scone. I may have. [she attempts to look somewhat prim.] Indulged a bit much last night, but I do remember the scone. It was very good.
[okay, she might be guessing at the taste. last night, she probably would have eaten a pebble and thought it tasty. but she does remember eating it!]
And since you have plans, I won't keep you. [easing off her chair, she gives him a somewhat tender smile.] Though I know you're not fond of them, you do have my thanks. Not many would have been as kind to me as you were last night.
[His answering smile is indulgent, too, and he rises when she does, planning to at least walk her to the door.]
I'll allow the thanks this once, I suppose. Just glad you called me when you did. [Before anything bad happened.] There's a taxi waiting for you downstairs, save you the trek home.
