“I want all the dates and stuff in books and movies.”

Telling someone you admired them was not the same as telling them you loved them, and telling someone you loved them was not the same as telling them they were your soul mate.

Alan? As in this man?

Eleanor had been convinced he despised her. Or was it because he mistook her for an accomplice when his mother disappeared? Nonetheless, why did he purchase the club?

Perhaps he was the reason none of the VIPs wanted to watch her like they used to.
