A Priceless Painting

Bruno heard Nicole's confession. He was sure that what she was saying was true and not just a delusion from her current state. Hearing her say that she hated him caused him pain, but he understood. What he felt was nothing compared to what she must have felt every time he humiliated her.

He tried to calm her down, but it was impossible. She cried, and a while later, she had to pull over. Nicole was nauseous, so Bruno opened the car door and held her head as she vomited. Unfortunately, his shoes got covered in something strange. He took out a bottle of water, cleaned Nicole's face with a damp cloth, gave her a little water to rinse her mouth, and then cleaned his shoes.
