It was the coffee that triggered it for me, when you said the hotel had some of the best you'd ever had but the office stuff was crap. They served the same coffee all over town, same beans, same roasters, same preparation. Thought it must be that you wanted to set yourself apart somehow, although I couldn't imagine why. We were in this thing together, didn't matter outsider or town local. We were a team, we were united, and it seemed silly that a cup of coffee should divide us and that you should will it so.
Did I tell you any of this? No. What would have been the point? Were you suddenly supposed to say, Oh, you're right, how foolish of me, I recant? We we have fought for hours? Would that have been the beginning of the end? No, we had to work together and so I kept my big mouth shut. Higher road and all that after all. I switched our cups and you never noticed. That was a win enough for me.
