Quote #7
Sometimes it seemed like she would never be able to give Park anything like what he'd given her. It was like he dumped all this treasure on her every morning without even thinking about it, without any sense of what it was worth. (19.58)

Quote #8
"I don't like you, Park," she said, sounding for a second like she actually meant it. "I..."—her voice nearly disappeared—"think I live for you." (19.308)
Eleanor doesn't tell Park she loves him, in so many words, but she says a lot of things like this. Park has no trouble telling Eleanor he loves her, and he tells her many times. Why doesn't Eleanor say those three little words?
