Okay, so I’m getting to another confusing point in the book. For a while, before, Francis hadn’t really had problems with seeing ghosts. But now, he is being followed by a ghost named Aldo Campione and starts to think he is going a little bit crazy. In the recent chapter I read, it goes into detail about Francis and Helen’s relationship describing how amazing things used to be and how in love they were.
“Francis always bought me flowers,” she said. “He’d get money and first thing he’d do was buy me a dozen roses, or a white orchard even. He didn’t care what he did with the money as long as I got my flowers first. You did that for me, didn’t you, Fran?”(52)
I like this quote because it really shows how much even though times were getting bad because of Francis’ spending problem, he still put Helen first and tried to make her happy. During the time that Francis and Helen are at the bar talking to Oscar, they try to get her to sing. She used to be a singer on the radio and a piano player. She gets really nervous and says she can’t but then Francis buys her a rose from the flower girl and she gets up enough courage to sing to him. I am getting really into this book and I want to see if all of the feelings between Fran and Helen rekindle after she sings to him.

I think it is really cute that Francis always buys Helen flowers. It's always good to know that even when times are bad there is someone or something still there to help you get through them. The relationship with the flower and her singing is a really cool part because it shows that the flowers mean so much more to her than just a flower. It sounds like a really good book.
