I'm reading a book and there is one passage I don't understand at all.
The light turned green just as I managed to touch the fire to the end of the cigarette, and I was forced to leave it hanging between my lilps as I negotiated the intricacies of clutch, gas, shift(neutral to first? Or first to second?), release clutch, the smoke wafting in and out of my mouth with each and every breath. It was another three blocks before the car moved smoothly enough for me to remove the cigarette, but it was already too late: the precariously long line of spent ash had found its way directly to the sweat stain on the pants.
Please take a look at very end just after :
Does this simply means that she noticed that ash had dropped from the cigarette on her pants? |
