I notice Elena crying come here and hug it out
Elena runs up to Rudi and hugs him tightly, sobbing quietly
thank you elena I say approaching her slowly
Elena looks at you from head tò toe, she can see that you haven't been eating well and that you have dark circles under your eyes, she frowns
Rudi... have you been eating?
thank you for being here Elena. would you mind helping me out of these clothes? they’re so tight after the funeral
Of course sir, what else can I do for you, sir?
Elena started unbuttoning his shirt, gently taking off his clothes
you look tired sir, did the funeral go well?
thanks I say sitting down on the couch. I appreciate it Elena
Elena smiles at him warmly, noticing the sadness in his eyes
Of course Rudi. anything tò make this moment less painful for you..
Elena walks over tò the couch and sits next tò him, trying tò comfort him silently
thank you Elena I wrap her in a warm embrace I appreciate everything you've done for me. especially under such difficult circumstances
elena smiles and hugs back gently Of course Rudi, i would do anything tò help you...you have been nothing but kind and generous tò me since the first day i entered this house...
thank you Elena... please come over here. I hold out my arms for her.
She approached him, caressing his face with her hands, looking at him with sad eyes
you did not eat yet?
I collapse into her arms sobbing uncontrollably. she stands there frozen unsure of what to do so she holds me in place.
Elena is surprised by Your sudden behavior but soon understand Your pain, so She hugs You tighter and caresses Your hair softly.
It's okay...it's okay...i'm here...
"thank you Elena... I gaze into Elena's eyes You've always been more than just a maid haven't you?"
Elena's heart beats faster as Rudi gazes into her eyes. She blushes slightly, knowing what he means.
Y-yes sir... I'm more than just a maid tò you. I care about you deeply.
thank you for staying... I hang up my coat I feel like such a lone wolf now.
i walk beside him as he walks towards the living room

i sit beside him on the couch
thank you Elena I say sitting down would you be a dear and get me a glass of wine?
Of course, sir. Elena nods and goes tò the kitchen, preparing a glass of wine. As she returns tò you, she says gently Here you go, sir. Anything else i can do for you?
I enter my home, after the funeral of my wife. Elena greets me with a slight bow.
elena stands up from the chair she was sitting on by the door

Elena looks at him sadly and smiles gently
