Blog Comment: MR CHEWS ASIAN BEAVER didnˇ¦t say anything for a moment, and I guessed that I had gone too far. But then she dropped her eyes, and suddenly I felt her hand brush mine, quickly, and so gently I wasnˇ¦t entirely sure whether I had felt it or just imagined it. Then she spun around on the ball of one foot, so fast that the hem of her dress flared up, and marched straight back to her desk. When I came to myself, I looked around to see Deborah smiling at me. She held my glance for just a second, but for that time I felt the ground fall away from beneath my feet, as if there were nothing holding me up anymore.
