Eddie starts his day by thinking of Anna. He orders flowers for her, he puts on his best shirt for her, he drives to her house, he makes arrangements to attend her dance recital
Even though Eddie knows everything about Anna, they have never actually met. She doesnt know who he is. She goes through every day, totally unaware that someone is watching her so closely, getting to know her friends, sneaking into her apartment at night.
The night of her dance recital is when Eddie finally agrees to break his silence. He introduces himself to her parents. They have a great conversation until Anna arrives. Eddie, having deluded himself into believing the two of them to be in love, is hurt, confused and angry that Anna insists that she has no idea who he is
