Minutes later
Hi,
When you hear someone says "minutes later," what is the maximum time you expect? Not "ten/a few/several minutes later," just "minutes later." To me, it sounds less than ten.
Sorry if it seems a silly question, but I'd really appreciate it if you could answer. Thanks.

The author prefers to use it, but I was wondering like "How many minutes passed? They said they'd meet in ten minute
