“Hugo, you’re an awesome person! You’re amazing! You’re marvelous! You’ve given me so many gifts! And the gifts are awesome and amazing, like this necklace that I forgot I had but remembered just in time to pack it for this amazing trip to this awesome city! So I’m wearing the awesome necklace to tell you that even though you’re a suave, sophisticated, amazing man, I’m breaking up with you because there’s someone else who makes me laugh and I’d rather be with him, even though I haven’t texted him, much less called him the entire time we’ve been seeing this amazing city. Thank you for all the gifts you gave me. They are so awesome! Bye-bye! Oops, I forgot to ask: You ARE going to expense this dinner, aren’t you? It’s marvelous, even though we haven’t even ordered the food yet.”
This is great. She strings him along for "several days" before dumping him.
And we still don't know the sleeping arrangements. This knowledge is critical in order for us readers to understand the status of the relationship and the consequences of what Dawn is going to say.
Re sleeping arrangements: Dawn wore the same outfit all week, finally changed for dinner. Hugo in the same jacket and shirt. They didn’t bother with a hotel room(s). They’ve been sleeping in the Port Authority Bus Terminal. Dawn bought a new blouse today, but Hugo just thought, “what ze heck? Ma chemise smells no worse than on the date I put in on in Paree. “
They couldn’t afford a room after they bought the Hamilton tickets, the sub par bouillabaisse, the tickets for the Statue, the Freedom Tower, and the Empire State Building.
They could have pawned Dawn’s necklace...
In other news, we now know that Dawn is over 21! Her teen years went by in a (30 year) flash, didn’t they?
AND Brigham and Moy have once again preserved Dawn’s virtue!
Let's see.. The only real reference to Jared that came up on this trip was the Star Wars exhibit. Otherwise, Dawn has had the chance to see Hamilton (nearly impossible to get tickets), the Statue of Liberty (even when there isn't a pandemic, there's no such thing as a last-minute trip. The last time we tried to go, it was a three-month wait to book a ticket.), hiking in Central Park, the Highline, a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, several French restaurants, to say nothing of all the Ubers they had to take to get to all these attractions. Considering the excitement and the expense of this trip, the only thing I can imagine that would make Dawn see Jared in competition with Hugo during this whirlwind, breath-taking trip is that the (ahem) sleeping arrangements were as sub par as the bouillabaisse. Maybe Jared has more going for himself in that department than we are privy to. I can't wait to see Hugo collapse in tears when Dawn breaks up with him!
Like Scottie, I demand to know what their sleeping arrangements were. And, while we're on it, I demand to know what were the other "gifts" Dawn said Hugo had given her. The only one I've seen is that cheap plastic, scallop shell necklace. Today, it sort of looks more like a monkey's paw... hmm

How is it that just reading "We need to talk" can inspire as much dread as hearing it?
That’s for sure, Wanders. I foresee this:

Come on, Moy, we need clarity!!!

Dawn: I'm so sorry, Hugo, but I've fallen in love with someone else.
Hugo: Oh, Dawn, Dawn, Dawn. Do not worry your empty leetle head. What is that cute leetle saying you Americans have? Something about a rat's azz?

If Hugo is going to wear a low-buttoned shirt, he needs to take a weed wacker to some of that chest hair. Eww!
Wanders:
I think Hugo can only read thought balloons in French, n'est pas?
