She decided to let Pierre know.

Does your wife say she loves you?

Not that much.

But she doesn't need to say it.

- Are you happy together?

- Yes.

Do you trust her?

Of course. Why are you asking?

No reason.

What would you do if...

She was cheating on you?

What are you trying to discover?

Nothing.

You want to know

if I'd break up with her.

Would you?

I can't imagine.

Manon is that like that.

I saw her with a men.

I saw them twice.

What are you saying?

I sweat not to tell but...

Go ahead, tell me.

It was something like ten days ago.

I get of the subway at Grand Boulevard.

I went to a cafe and they were there.

He was holding her hand.

Then...

Yesterday...

Yes, yesterday...

They were in the same cafe.

On the terrace.

They were kissing.

You see, it's funny.

I thought it was...

not a coincidence to meet them again.

It was not meaningless.

I swear on my life.

How did you know it was her?

- I recognized her.

- Are you sure it was her?

Yes.

How come you know her?

Well, I...

I needed to know.

I needed to know your place,

see what she looks like, so...

I went several time where you live.

One evening...

I was watching the window...

to see you.

The two of you came out.

It hurt to see you two as a couple.

I thought she was beautiful.

How long have you been spying on us?

Since the very first day.

Do you want something to drink?

No.

- Shall we go right now?

- Yes.

Madam.

Let's go.

It's strange.

What?

To be here, with another man.

You?

I'm used to it.

Pierre could not believe

what Elisabeth told him.

He thought she was rambling

and everything could be explained.

He could not be cheated on.

Still, in the evening...

You know what? I feel like you are

someone else. Someone I don't know.

No, Pierre, it's me.

It's really me.

- I'm like everybody, I'm not perfect.

- I thought you were different.

Won't you call me a whore?

No.

It was not against you.

I never wanted to hurt you.

What is for your pleasure?

He's a good person.

Are you kidding me?

He makes me feel good.

He stares me.

I felt like he loved me.

But you are the one I want.

I want to felt loved by one.

Nobody loves you like I do.

So where is your love?

Why can't I feel it?

If it exists I don't know

where you put it.

It's been so long you see me cry

and suffer. But you're staying still.

Indifferent.

- Are you leaving me for him?

- No.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

He was just...

Just...

Just a moment.

I needed to meet you again, quickly.

To see you were still here for me.

To see you were not left.

- You want to keep both of us.

- No! I want you!

I'm telling you he was just...

Just...

- If I...
