(In their room)
Camila giggled as Epifanio kissed her.
"Te amo (I love you) Epifanio," Camila said.
"As do I mi amor," he responded "It has been quite a day."
They were both exhausted. Putting up with enemies and committing acts of love. Cortez being on the loose. It was all havoc. Epifanio and Camila could care less. As long as they were a family.
"Well," said Camila as she dressed into a nightgown. "We should call it a day."
"It seems you are right," he answered.
"Have fun?"
Camila and Epifanio turned to see the figure who spoke. Bruises, scars, and wounds of all sizes. The man was beaten so much it was as if staring at living death. He was still easily recognizable.
"You read that letter, didn't you? She comes with me. If you refuse, you both die."
Epifanio was about to protest, but he knew it wouldn't help. They'd probably abuse her enough to not kill her, but she'd still live with whatever pain forever.
"Why don't you change into something nice? You won't want to wear that where we're going."
Camila didn't want to lose her husband again. She quickly grabbed something. At this point, she could care less what her choice was. She went to the bathroom and changed.
"Not speaking this time? From what I remember, you had quite a few insults for Eva. Do you not have some for me, or do you want to protect your precious cheater of a wife?"
'Cheater wife? What the hell does that mean?! She'd never...... Would she? No. He's trying to mess with your head. He'll say whatever to piss you off. Cheater my ass. Says the ass after us every day,' Epifanio thought.
"You're one to talk," Epifanio said.
"Oh, so you do talk. And just what do you mean?"
"You say my wife is a cheater, and yet you're the desperate one. Watching us the way you did. All of this because of her."
"I don't see you doing anything about it."
"Says the poor excuse for a man. You couldn't even walk up to her and admit you had feelings for her when we were young. You couldn't even ask her out. And you say the she betrayed you? You betrayed yourself for being an ass in every way possible."
Before he could respond to Epifanio, Camila stepped out. She was staring at the ground and refused to look at either of the men. Epifanio because she felt ashamed for not standing up for herself and the other because she despised him.
"You certainly dress to impress, even when you don't try."
"....."
"You have nothing to say to me? Too bad, I like the sound of your voice. You ready, my love?"
