Can we say a good divorce?

Burning Red ❤️

Day 2

Patrick went to his house - in New Jersey - because he wanted to explain to his sons what happened between there mom and him.

After the two phone calls, two days ago, Vera and Patrick exchanged their keys of their camping car and promised that they will be there for each other.

Vera - to change her mind - decided to clean all of her camping car. Even after cleaning every little space of it, she didn't have enough and wanted to continue. Then she thought about Patrick. Maybe she could clean his.

She went to his camping car, which was next to hers, and used her key that he gave her two days ago.

She opened the door and saw what she thought. Anyone would've known that it was a guy who "lived" there.

She had a lot to do. Vera started with the kitchen, washed the dishes and the table. After, she did to his room, then the bathroom and Vera decided to finish with the floor.

While Vera was finishing the floor, she heard a key turning in the door. She screamed at Patrick to wait 5 minutes and that he will have a big surprise when he'll come inside.

5 minutes later, Vera opened the door, hugged Patrick and whispered to him that his whole "house" was all clean. Patrick entered and was breathless. He thanked her by hugging her again and he kissed her on the forehead. Then Vera explained why she did all of this.

She just wanted to do something to change her mind or she would just stay there staring at the ceiling crying. She hated being left with her thoughts so she did that for Patrick and he clearly needed a big clean up so it was a give and take.

For thanking her - and also because he wanted to spend time with her but shh 🤫 - Patrick invited Vera to stay for supper.

She helped him making supper. They put their music playlist and a Metalica song was playing. It was one of Vera's favorite so Patrick wanted to see her smile and hear her laugh again so he started singing and dancing around.

Vera was watching him, smiling and laughing real hard when she totally forgot that she was cutting vegetables for the salad.

Suddenly Patrick heard Vera screaming;

« Ouch! Oh shit!... »

Patrick stopped laughing, dancing and especially smiling when he saw Vera's arm. She had cut herself very badly and it was bleeding a lot.

Patrick told her to sit and wait and he ran to his clean bathroom to find the First Aid Kit. Then he went back to the kitchen where Vera was sitting, saying every curse words that she knew and was telling Patrick to hurry.

When he got to her, Patrick wrapped a bandage around her arm. Vera thanked him.

Now they were both looking into each other's beautiful ocean eyes for a long time.... When... suddenly Patrick were coming closer and closer to Vera... when... James - the producer - opened the door of Patrick's camping car and said;

« Oh! It's smells good in here! May I come in? »

And then he saw them. James said that he was sorry for disturbing them.

Patrick and Vera looked at each others awkwardly and Vera finally said;

« Oh no! It's fine! Come on in and you can eat with us if you want to! »

James nodded.

Vera didn't want to talk with Patrick about what just happened, about the way that they felt about each other. It was too soon yet... and she was relieved that James accepted.

After that, they set the table and starting eating. The supper felt like an eternity for everyone. No one was talking and it was really awkward.

When everyone was finished, James went back to his place and Patrick and Vera washed the dishes silently, no knowing what to talk about.

Then Vera hugged Patrick and went back at her place. She spent the whole night thinking about what would've happened if James would've came in a few minutes later... and Patrick was thinking the exact same thing.

They both didn't sleep a lot that night. They were too busy thinking about each other...
