Summary
Dave and Shae go out for a couple of dinners, and Dave appreciates Shae's attractiveness, but also realizes how lonely Shae is.
Dave has a series of meetings at Dunlap and Fyre, and is on the whole satisfied with the progress there.
Later he meets with Aaron Tietelbaum, an accountant recommended by Rob Dunlap, and as a result makes progress on a number of financial issues, including discovering another account that Julie maintained plus an overdue loan Julie made to her father's business. Aaron gives him a laundry list of things he needs to do, including applying for a death certificate for Julie.
Overall, it's a rather mixed day, good in the morning, then the afternoon events makes him realize even more that Julie is gone, and Dave gets depressed again. Shae helps a bit, and she also makes an appointment for him to see Eve, which requires him making a detour on his way back to Bradford.
