Between Nan and Jenni, that is exactly the kind of thing that would have made that scene clearer for me, since as is, I hadn't read it as you'd intended. Although once you told me how you had meant the scene to read, I read it again and could easily pick it up - so maybe it was just me not reading into subtle clues... but I do like these suggestions and would also be eager to see if you had other ideas yourself, Ann, for the conversation between the two men.
But as Jenni says:
Actually, I don't really think it's too much of a problem in the first place.
I have to agree, because once it became clear, it's really not much of a problem and the scene most certainly (either way) didn't take away from the story for me.
And I, too, am a supporter of the waffy-ness!
