"Keltham did make some gestures towards Peranza; but I judged that Peranza would have had some trouble enjoying it to his satisfaction, in her state.  Alter-Peranza told Keltham that she was attracted to him, but too stressed by her work difficulties to be a properly enthusiastic bedmate, but that she'd probably have fun if he simply pinned her against a wall and took her at some point, and she might be up for more later.  That was Peranza's choice of half-truth, not mine, and I was pleased by it at the time."
