Question

Sophie’s dreams and disappointments are all in her mind

Answer 1

Sophie was a dreamer who often made up stories for herself and for others. One possibility might be that she wanted to escape the squalor of daily life with the help of her fantasies. Her encounter with Danny Casey was a made-up story for the sake of catching her brother's attention. Eventually, she got so much engrossed in it that she started to live in the world of fantasy. When Danny Casey did not arrive for the second 'date', she experienced disappointment. However painful and disappointing her fantasy might be, she was not willing to accept reality. Her dreams and disappointments are figments of her imagination.
