She asked if she could talk.
A lovely combination of vulnerability alternating with strength and stubbornness.
She apparently worked in the restaurant downstairs but was friends with the barman who she thought handsome.
He had laughed in response when he heard.
Apparently he was the owner and older than he looked.
She had talked frankly, as one can to a stranger. albeit not Japanese.
Unhappy marriage, little show of emotion in the relationship, no children.

Great skin and hid her laughter behind long fingers when embarrassed.
He had shook hands with the barman when he left, but in her case she did not rise and seemed uncertain.
It had been his intention to hug her, but he limited himself to rubbing her back gently.
