On Saturday morning, Christian wakes up earlier than usual, the weight of last night's events still heavy on his mind. He lies in bed for a few moments, staring at the ceiling, trying to sort through his tangled thoughts. His feelings for Marilena have become too strong to ignore, and he knows he can't keep pretending that this is just a convenient arrangement.
