Anyway, you must come round some time. You must come round for dinner. Give me your number. It is not uncommon for Catholic women to befriend priests. It is a kind of patronage.
Priests are to be supported materially, while they in turn support the faithful spiritually.
If you come from the Protestant tradition, maybe you do not see it in quite the same way, but looking after a priest is a kind of good work. If you don't come from any tradition at all, you probably cannot see why there might be a celibate priest in the first place and why, for God's sake, a woman might ever concern herself with such a man. She glanced up from her handbag where she was rooting around for a diary or something. The very first encounter. Thus the chaotic hand of coincidence had its way, like the petulant hand of a child rearranging the pieces on a chessboard.
