As we share our meal, as we laugh without care, I like to think that they are secretly - against their better judgement perhaps, and despite their best attempts to resist their inner urges - that they are secretly, at an almost primeval level, repulsed by me. But they'd never admit it as they smile across the table and say yes to desert.
