Last Chance Saloon

Summary

• Nora visits Dylan's house after dinner to watch a movie called "Last Chance Saloon". She justifies this decision by believing Dylan to be honest and open.
• Dylan's small house, inherited from his mother, is filled with dogs. Nora sees five of them, though she suspects more could be hiding upstairs.
• While seated on the sofa, Nora discovers multiple chew toys among which a plastic ring stands out. One of the dogs, a Chihuahua named Pedro, tries to mate with her leg.
• A Newfoundland dog sits next to her on the sofa, leaving floor space for Dylan. They watch "Last Chance Saloon" with less awkwardness in this setting.
• Nora feels indifferent about her current situation as Dylan mentions wanting to let another dog sleep in his bed because it misses him. She feels that another version of her who was in love with Dylan should be in her place.
• Dylan’s life full of dogs and shared experiences influence Nora to reflect on her life and she drinks more wine to cope. She reads an inspiring autobiography on the wine bottle's label which makes her feel accomplished.
• Feeling emotionally detached, Nora whispers goodbye to the Newfoundland dog and leaves Dylan’s house, leaving him and his dogs behind.
