As she talks she goes round to her bed, sits down, pulling off her trousers. ‘No – it was this business-man type, maybe forty. Such a letch. I thought I was going to get groped for sure.’
‘Did you?’
‘No. Spineless. I kept the second half of my Coke ready, though, so I could chuck it over him when he did. That’s probably why I’m so dehydrated.’ （前回の終わりの部分です）
She stands up and pulls her shirt off over her head. I look quickly away, pretending I haven’t noticed. I know she doesn’t care – wouldn’t mind me seeing her standing there in her underwear – but I’m not sure I can carry off the pretence that I don’t care. It’s easier to look away. She says, ‘Not a bad view either. There’s a little square down there, and a tree. I think that’s a church. You know all this stuff better than I do. You’ll have to tell me about it later.’
‘It’s a deal,’ I say, looking fixedly at the writing-desk in the corner. I hear her walk over to where the towels are laid out, bare feet padding on the stone.
‘I’d say I won’t be long, but I probably will be,’ she says, a smile in her voice. I risk looking up. She has a towel wrapped around her, and I am able to pretend that, as far as I’m aware, this is how it’s always been.
‘There’s no hurry,’ I say. ‘Take as long as you like.’
‘Thanks. I’ll see you in a bit.’
She closes the door after her and, a few moments later, there comes the first hiss of water from the shower, and somewhere far off the rumble and clang of air through the plumbing of the old building. I am left lying on my bed, staring at the wall, trying to keep the thought of her out of my head.

主人公のAlexはartistで、展示会に備えるために、幼い頃過ごしたイタリアに戻ってきています。she（Anna）はAlexの幼なじみです。（Annaとの回想シーンだと思われます）
‘Not a bad view either. There’s a little square down there, and a tree. I think that’s a church. You know all this stuff better than I do. You’ll have to tell me about it later.’ のNot a bad view either.がよくわかりません。悪い眺めではない。両方とも？？all this stuffのstuffとはどういう意味ですか？You’ll have to tell me about it laterのitはa churchのことですか？
I’d say I won’t be long, but I probably will be,の意味は、長く生きていないでしょうと言っていました、でも多分生きます、という意味ですか？それとも長くはいないと言っていました。でも多分長くいます。という意味ですか？beの意味が漠然としててよくわかりません。
She has a towel wrapped around her, and I am able to pretend that, as far as I’m aware, this is how it’s always beenのI am able to pretend that～のところがわからないのですが、（文をつなげると、I am able to pretend that this is how it's always beenだと思うのですが）、私はこれがいかにいつものことだというふりをすることができる？という意味ですか？
I am able to pretendと言っている意味がいまひとつわかりません。
‘There’s no hurry,’ I say. ‘Take as long as you like.’
‘Thanks. I’ll see you in a bit.’ のセリフについてですが、彼女がシャワーを浴びていて、急がないから好きなだけ浴びてていいよ、と主人公が言って、彼女がちょっとしたら（シャワーから出て）会いにいきます、と言っているシーンですか？
教えてください。お願いします。
