"Thank you so much for allowing me into your home. I truly appreciate your company, and the tea. Thank you. I came here because... I have something I need to talk about. Do you have time to listen?"

"Surely, dear Cilla, I have nothing but time on my hands now, since my children have gone away. Would you like some crumpets with that tea?"

"No, I just need to talk. Marie, you are the dearest friend I've ever had. Thank you for being here for me."

"Of course, dear. You know I care."
