Mandy and Roy told stories of their travels and their university days.
S talked about her parents, who had divorced a few years earlier and were now both seeing much older partners.
It was as if, S said, the divorce had aged them, and she shook her head in wonder and disbelief because she was at just the right age to start pitying her parents.
They talked about the baby and somehow got around to looking at childhood photos of Roy and Mandy, and S said that if the baby was a girl, they should name it after her.
She was joking, of course, but the familiarity of this made it doubly impossible for them to ask for her name again.
Finally, Mandy yawned and said she thought it was time to get some sleep, and she suggested that Roy walk S back to the hostel.
Or, of course, S was very welcome to stay the night, although they had already converted the guest room into a nursery and S would need to sleep on the couch, which folded out into a bed and was apparently fairly comfortable.
I slept on that couch a few times myself, always heartbroken or drunk, usually both, absolutely sure that my life would never improve, that loneliness was everlasting, that no man with forearms like Roy's would ever turn to me with love, and I can confirm that it was indeed fairly comfortable.
S, of course, chose to stay the night.
Why do I say of course?
I'm not sure, only that it's so easy to imagine the intimacy of the three of them as they giggled at baby albums in that bright, bare kitchen, and how much nicer a stay in this pristine house must have seemed than a sheepish return to the hostel.
Also, S said she liked the idea of Daniel wondering where she was.
She wanted him to suffer.
Roy made up the fold-out bed as he'd done for me so many times and told S to help herself to anything in the kitchen.
Then he withdrew.
Mandy found the girls some pajamas.
She issued warnings about the delicate temperament of the downstairs shower.
Then she and S hugged in such a genuine way that Mandy apparently had felt as if they were sisters.
At this point in the story, someone in Mandy and Roy's audience would usually ask if it had occurred to them that the girl might rob them.
And Mandy and Roy would always say no, absolutely not.
