As they threw coins in the fountain together, he seemed distant.Next, they headed to the Mohegan Sun's Summer Shack restaurant. Before sitting down to eat, Bobby purchased souvenir sweatshirts at the merchandise counter. Even though Alicia told him she would "never wear" the sweatshirt, he continued to buy, buy, buy.
