Yeah, I'd be curious to read the entire story and see how all the pieces fit together. So far it seems like you couldn't wing the ending and decided to compound it with another thread.

As for the characters, I don't see why the man was so surprised? The lady's move was quite extravagant and, considering they knew each other for eight months, I don't see how she didn't disclose that character trait of hers earlier.

The only question in my mind is, considering that the average cost of a facelift is $8000, who paid the tab? If it was the guy, then he has the full right asking questions. If it was her own money then, well, it was his fault that he talked about the lady with his mother. )
