Having experienced the ups and downs of life, seeing them now made her throat tighten a bit, she asked casually, "You need something from me?" Aliza kept her cool, smiled and said, "There's a café across the street, let's talk there!" Eloise had no idea what happened today, thinking Aliza came specifically to hand her a check. She
