Late last night, I received a message from a reliable but confidential source that informed me that the story of the non-stop trip by this pair from Auckland to Wellington was not all as it seems, and that is that they did become disoriented and lost their way coming out of Auckland and needed help to get on to the right road. They called on acquaintances who they were in close contact with, and that was rewarded with even more close contact: a kiss and a cuddle.
