The day had passed normally, I went to the market to go shopping, again I bumped into Helen, we were chatting for a while as usual, the only difference was that this time she asked me out.
-Don't confuse things Gran, it's a friends only invitation, believe me I couldn't be with an Englishman.
-Easy Helen, I wasn't confusing anything, I was just thinking about something else, excuse me, I should be paying more attention to you, but of course I would like to go drinking with you, as you say as friends.
It was clear that my words were not to Helen's liking, in fact the first thing she did was to stomp on my foot.
-You had to be English, women like to be noticed, you idiot.
The more I got to know her, the more the words Finley said to me that time, that bony, ill-tempered woman, made sense to me.
-Helen, would you stop calling me English, besides I was born in a foreign country so let's just say I'm only half English.
