Quite right! I'm sure the day will come eventually, but until then I think prying questions will be brushed off with similar diplomacy. I don't suppose we'll ever get "well, we did chat about it last night and we think we would like to get married soon, but not yet. We decided to talk about it again in a couple of months".
I love the fact Helen describes her job with Lorraine as just chatting to her three days a week. It sounds like some kind of counselling, although I bet Lorraine would be great at that.
I think she answered the questions really well, especially the dizzy blonde one. She must have been getting pretty good at interviews by then. It's interesting that brief interviews in a store magazine are much better than anything we get in the newspapers. I'm only sad there are no Asda's near where I live or work. I wonder if she did one for Tesco?
