Tell Them I'll Be There (2012)
“Each week on her free night they would go to one of the top restaurants then on somewhere for a few drinks. Sue was good company and he was fond of her, nothing more. Then one night she made it obvious she wanted to stay the night. It would be a pleasant change, she said, to stay in Dan’s elegant apartment, a pleasant change from the room she shared at the German lady’s rooming-house.
Dan had misgivings. He had not wanted things to get serious, but he said, ‘OK, you go to bed. I’ll have the... sofa.’ ‘I don’t want the bed,’ she said.

We are just good friends. But we can be very good friends.’ ‘With no strings?’ Dan said.MoreLess
