Winona knew his heartfelt speech was meant for her. She turned to look at him.
"How about something stronger?"
"...Alright."
Keaton opened a bottle of whiskey and poured a glass for each of them.
They both downed their first glass before Keaton finally asked, "You look so weighed down. There's definitely something on your mind. Want to talk about it?"
Winona took a sip of whiskey. "Who told you I was down?"
"I can just tell."
"...You're so perceptive. Alright, then, tell me why I'm so down."
Keaton's eyes narrowed. "It's because of Zane, isn't it?"
Winona fell silent.
"The hurt Zane caused you," Keaton said, "it's just like what Clementine did to me. So I get it. I understand how you feel."
"Clementine?" Winona asked. "The girl you mentioned on the drive over, the one who hurt you?"
"Yeah."
"I've never heard that name. Is she from Jindale City?"
Keaton shook his head. "No, she's not from Jindale City. She wasn't some debutante either. Just a regular girl."
Winona's curiosity was piqued. "So how did you two meet?" Birds of a feather flock together. For a guy from a wealthy family like Keaton, most of his friends were from similar backgrounds.
Keaton let out a long breath, finished the whiskey in his glass, and lit a cigarette.
He turned to look at the lighthouse. "I spent ninth grade in a different town. The Huber family had business there, so my parents had to stay for a year and they took me with them. That's when I met her."
"Her family was poor. She'd dropped out of school in eighth grade and was helping her grandparents sell fruit from a stall outside my school."
