When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

She was almost scared out of her wits, knowing how close she and Michael were to becoming fish food.

Michael smirked. “You were the one who asked me to find Ellen! I couldn’t find her no matter how I tried, so I went to the shelter to bring home any mad woman just to shut you up. I never thought I’d run into her over there.”

Most of the homeless at the shelter had no family. Therefore, he could easily get Ellen out.

“I thought she looked crazy and might ruin our plan, so I didn’t tell Leo about it. I never thought that she’d be our savior tonight.”

He was equally frightened because of Leo, and he never thought that Leo could do something that appalling to them.

Elyse chuckled. “I bet she likes him because he’s into crazies!”

They learned a lot of details about the history between Big Eyes and Leo from Ellen’s diary. Elyse also used a sleight of hand to obtain the agreement form of the cornea donor. Armed with that information, she and Michael made up the perfect story that Ellen was Big Eyes.

Had Elyse not known about the real identity of Big Eyes, even she might have fallen for Ellen’s bluff and believed that her sister was Big Eyes.

Michael spat after hearing Elyse’s words. “That sister of yours keeps to herself. But she warms up to one particular person. What’s the name of that girl again?”

“Amelie Dillon!” Elyse answered, looking uncomfortable.

Michael nodded. “Yes! Yes! Amelie’s father pampered her like a princess, buying her everything she wanted. She was always in floral dresses that showed off her legs, but her father didn’t care about it. I bet Ellen must have gotten her craziness from that girl!”

At that moment, he had no idea that Amelie was the real Big Eyes. He only learned about the relationship between Big Eyes and Leo Alston from Ellen’s diary, where Ellen described herself as Big Eyes.

Anyway, Elyse did not plan to tell Michael the truth because he was a blabbermouth that might leak the secret. Her sister was the key to her comeback.
