You mean a lot to her, Bob.”Her casual admission that she had a crush on me slammed into me, but like a gust of wind, passed. I’d think about that later. It didn’t keep me from continuing the conversation.“That’s fine, but like I told her, I’m twice her age. I can’t be her boyfriend.”“Of course not. But.
