Chapter 9 A Day That Pulled Me In

• Edeline’s thoughts were tangled, impossible to straighten out. She couldn’t stop replaying everything she had just learned about Elvis. Even on her way home, she chose not to take a taxi but a bus—and walked the last stretch on foot.
• It wasn’t curiosity that drove her thoughts. It wasn’t even interest. Rather, she knew she would never have peace of mind as long as she stayed in Manchester.
• How could she? On her first day setting foot in the city, she had already collided with Elvis because of a misplaced defense—defending someone who, as she later learned, was actually his fiancée. And now that same man demanded she meet him at the very same hotel just to collect the ID card she accidentally dropped in his office.
