I commented you with admiration before, but now I'm going to be useful and offer up my kids for plotting! I've got Emily here, elliebethune, chaissont, & charless...don't call me crazy.
Specifically... Ellie runs the local bar, The Victoria. I think it would be kind of hilarious if Vivian was, you know, a frequent customer and kind of forced a friendship onto Ellie from her end. Ellie's pretty tight-lipped, serious, outwardly pleasant but inwardly jaded...and probably would be put off and at least a little overwhelmed by Vivian.
