I felt so terrible for James all three times he tried to do something special and was thwarted! The coffee was particularly sad; all that care going to waste on the floor.

But I ADORE that Lewis noticed all three of those things and worked it out. And the ending was perfect. Beautifully done! :D

The coffee moment really got to me, too. I was going "noooo..."

[bailangwang]

Same here. I also felt so sorry for him.

Poor James - but I'm not sorry that I managed to make everyone feel sorry for him ;)

[wendymr]

Aww! Yes, poor James watching the drink he queued for 45 minutes for spilling onto the carpet... :(

[wendymr]

Yes, poor James! And I did feel bad about letting the coffee fall on the floor (but not too bad; it was cappuccino, after all, and I hate the stuff *g*). But, yes, all his care - all three times - and all for nothing, or so he thought.

But of course Robbie notices; he's not the cleverer half of a not-bad detective for nothing ;)

Thank you very much!
