He could tell that her calmness during the day was a facade. She was deeply hurt. She had never truly given up on Arnold, still waiting for him to divorce Lisa. That was why she didn’t care about him, her husband, keeping him at a distance, never letting him close.
Aurelia was completely drunk by now leaning on him and giggling Leopold, | want to go for a drive. Take me for a drive” “Alright.” He picked her up in his arms and headed out, his mood somber As they got into the car, Aurelia rolled down the window, letting the cool night air sweep in. The ride was filled with silence, only broken by the occasional sound of the car engine.
Leopold was gloomy Thinking about how her heart was filled with Arnold, and there was no room for him, filled him with jealousy and frustration Aurelia pouted, Leopold, why aren't you talking? Always so cold, | hate it” “What do you want me to say?” He was in no mood for conversation Aurelia puffed her cheeks. Always giving me that stern look, you were like this before and you still are. Nothing has changed.” Leopold was furious, ‘Are you constantly comparing me to Arnold, thinking I'm not as good as him?” “You are you, and he is him, why compare?” She huffed, a wave of resentment washing over her, “I don’t like you because you hurt me. Do you think a few sweet words can heal my wounds? It's like nailing a hole in the wall. Even if you remove the nail, the hole is still there, always there.” She clutched her chest, “My heart has a hole too, made by you. It won't ever heal.” The corner of Leopold’s mouth tightened. He couldn't go back in time. All he could do was try to soothe her wounds, to erase her resentment.

Aurelia pulled her hand back, taking a deep breath as she leaned back in her seat, “I don’t want to be involved with you and Arnold anymore, because you're too much trouble. | want to be alone. Without men, there's no trouble. Why don’t you try being alone too?” Leopold frowned, “I have a wife, so why would | want to be alone?” “Where's your wife?” She looked around, “I don’t see your wife. Did she fall out of the car?” Leopold was speechless, and he opened his hand, placing it on her head, “Isn't that you?” “Oh, I'm your wife. | almost forgot.” She started giggling, “Being your wife isn’t fun. It's not fun at all. | don’t want to be anymore, okay?” “No!” Leopold pinched her face and said, “Being my wife is for life, so you can’t quit.” She pouted, clearly angry, “I hate that you're always so domineering.” Leopold was speechless. In some aspects, he would not compromise.
“You need to behave, or I'll be even more domineering.”
