but at the same moment , alice and i turned and threw ourselves together abruptly , and began to kiss so passionately and with so little thought as to where we were , what was happening , and who we were with that don tried three times to say whatever it was that he had wanted to say and stopped three times , dejected , maybe because we obviously werent listening , or maybe because he didnt have some blonde woman there he could hold against the wall and kiss ( low blow , sorry not sorry ) while we were kissing .
