What it sounds like
You’re no different from any other woman.
What it really means
“You claim to reject convention, but when your reputation is at risk, you fall back in line like everyone else.”
Said today
“So much for being different—you back off the moment doing what you want has consequences.”
What was happening
Eloise ends their meetings because people are talking and she fears Theo will face the consequences. Theo takes her choice as proof that her rebellious image was only talk, and accuses her of using him before returning to her privileged life.
