Sarah found a clever way to create a happy ending

With that he pushed his chair aside and adopted a foetal position by my handbag.
I squirmed awkwardly for several minutes, not quite sure where to look or what to do. “Oh, I should carry on with your book,” his assistant said helpfully. I didn’t need further encouragement.
