Okay, so it...was...<em>kind of</em>normal.  But also not.  "You tried.  It's not your fault life decided it wanted to turn everything I knew on its head."  I exhaled.  "That's what I wanted to ask you about, so thanks for stopping by.  Maybe one of these days, you can arrange an introduction with the guys you said earlier, I'd like some help with this whole...thing.  You know."  I drank more coffee, bit back another almost-orgasm.
