And she turned the corner, and I think in his tale of this, clearly inviting him to follow her by turning the corner. And he had to choose in his weakest moment, the devil was trying to get him, whether or not he was going to follow this woman and have sex with her or not. I remember thinking at the time, just, gosh, goodness, that's very confident. Indeed.

Now looking back, I'm like, that's very weird because what would have happened if he had followed her, turned to the corner and driven down the road and whenever she got out of the car, he'd have got out and said, okay, then let's do it. And she would be like, what?
