Instead of pulling out all the stops to impress her with flowers and wine and gifts, instead on their first date, Dante pulled out a kite and they flew it there on the beach. Nearly everyone comments on how great a listener Dante is, and Lana found herself really opening up to him. She felt so comfortable with him immediately. And Lana reminded him of their original deal.

She said, are you going to hypnotize me or what? Are you going to help me quit smoking? But Dante surprisingly demurred. Dante said, I wouldn't feel comfortable hypnotizing someone I'm interested in romantically. Wow, Lana thought, this is a man I can trust.

While many people would have many things to say about this relationship in the future, it's important not to undercut what was happening here. Lana was falling in love. When Dante would drop her back home from their dates, Lana would hop off the bike in a daze and rush to tell the people in her life about her new love.

To which everyone in her life, everyone who had seen this movie before, all had the same question. Who is he? Well, for starters, I imagine her saying, he's a doctor, a prefix that both she and Dante leaned into at every opportunity. He served as a Marine and he's an author. He studied in Singapore of all places. And that was where he earned his doctorate in psychology.

Did I mention he's a doctor? He started his hypnotism act in Chicago before moving to California. And now he's a famous hypnotist. He plays big rooms with big names and he keeps good company.

You don't keep that kind of company if you're not someone special, she'd insist. It meant that he must be good at what he does. But really, she didn't know the half of it. Despite all of Lana's talking points about him, everyone in the Lana Turner entourage remained skeptical.

Her mother, her maids, assistants, hair and makeup people, agent, manager, accountant, everyone wanted more information about this guy. It was hard to suss him out. No one could tag along with them to give an unsolicited second opinion because he always picked her up on that damn motorcycle. The biggest concern from Lana's people was simply the finances.

In her marital wake were men financially much better off than when she found them. Her people just wanted to make sure that this dude wasn't after her money. But then, one day when Dante picked her up, he accidentally left something in the driveway, his briefcase.

And inside this briefcase were all of Dante's business documents, his private banking information, statements, balances and holdings, holdings that it appeared, if one was to say, open the briefcase and sift through its contents, were large, very large. We don't know for sure that someone rifled through Dante's briefcase that day.

All we do know is that when Lana and Dante pulled back into the driveway later that night, there were no more people speculating about Dante, his intentions, or his money. And so, just a few weeks into their relationship, a familiar occurrence for Lana. Dante asked her to marry him. And she said no. And she meant no. Things were going so well. Why is it always with the marriage?
