Carmen had spent a sleepless night thinking about Elio's behavior and she didn't understand anything. They had left the house that morning on good terms and even at the office, apart from their little argument, everything was going well until then and she had understood nothing when she returned from the restaurant. he didn't even want to tell him what was happening to him and it was impossible for him to imagine what had happened. She didn't have a good relationship with Nieves otherwise she could have asked her what was happening to her boss before the latter decided to dump her. She even wonder edif he had crises like that, but during their marriage, the little time she had spent with him, he had never behaved like that. He was certainly distant and didn't say anything to her simply because he wanted to avoid her pity but this was not the same thing. He him wanted it for real and she didn't know why. if only he told her, she could have apologized so everything would be okay.
