She invited me back to her room, telling me to give her a ten-minute head start.\u00a0 But when I went to pay her bar tab, I realized how much she\u2019d had to drink.\u00a0 As much as I wanted to ignore it, I couldn\u2019t. So I stood Nora up.<\/p>\n<p>I knew she\u2019d be pissed, but I also knew I\u2019d never see her again.<\/p>\n<p>Except <em>never<\/em>\u00a0came a little early.\u00a0 Namely, the next morning when I went to meet my grandmother and her evil-spinster friend.\u00a0 Because\u00a0<em>old Eleanor<\/em>\u00a0turned out to be\u00a0<em>young Nora<\/em> from last night.\u00a0 And if I thought the woman disliked me before, that was nothing compared to how ticked-off she was now.
