How many more times would I have embraced him that night, how many more times would I have kissed him, if I had known the name of that stranger lover who was already in Montreal, who had already bought his stadium ticket from a scalper for the 5, 000 tomorrow. That implacable lover who was going to turn Billy's eyes away from me forever. Patricia Nell Warren
About This Quote

As the reader learns in this quote, the person who professed to love Billy was already in Montreal when he approached Billy. He was also already in possession of a ticket for the 5,000-seat stadium where Billy’s last concert was scheduled. Therefore it is clear that the man in question was not in fact Billy’s real love. The real love, according to this quote, was not in Montreal but somewhere else. He was not destined to come to Montreal.
