They were the only distraction as he walked, the only place to hide from everything around him. He remembered Paul building a large empty space like the one before him. It was a dance hall. And if people were coming for romantic evenings, Paul thought, they should have a cocktail bar. “Go the whole way,” his girlfriend Teresa advised, encouraging him to add a restaurant, a nice place where a guy could drop a chunk of change on his gal.

He got in touch with a contractor, showed him the plans, and the construction soon began. At the end of the year, though, Paul was drained.
