Manuel’s Journal

Elsa and I had a disagreement regarding the raising of our son, Victor. Now that he is out of school, my wife thinks that it would suit him to find work part-time. I believe he is still too young. He is but thirteen and has his whole life ahead of him! This came only before Elsa’s nagging over my usage of alcohol— though I do not believe it to be a problem. I only drink on occasion. I had to make it up to her somehow; despite our disagreements I am still deeply in love with her.

We could hardly keep our hands off of each other. She is still shy and demure as when I married her, but beneath that exterior lies an affectionate partner. It had been a while since we had had time to ourselves like this, and I enjoyed every moment.
