Question -
Answer -
Sophie always lived in a make-believe world of her own. It was probable that in the course of her wishful thinking she imagined that Danny Casey had promised her for a date. Nobody in the family believed her. However, she went to her Favorited haunt to meet Casey, who did not show up.
This made her realize that Geoff had been right. Still she was under compulsion to insist that she had really met Danny Casey. She would never be able to tell about her family that—“they’re wrong to doubt me”. She was filled with sadness because her life would not undergo the transformation she had imagined. The glamour of the exotic world she dreamt of was not within her reach. This was a burden that she found difficult to come to terms with and carry.
