When Eric gets out of the car, he savors the sun's warmth on his face. An invigorating sensation he hasn't felt in an eternity. Every aspect of the day invigorates him, standing by Tanya's house.
The way she has flourished and achieved success thanks to HIS sacrifices amazes him. Meeting his step-sister when she welcomes him, Eric is thrilled, oblivious to her subdued reaction. As they talk, it becomes clear Tanya prefers him not to be there, crushing Eric.
After all he had done for her, wasn't he worthy of a grand homecoming? Tanya claims he makes her uneasy, blaming his transformation from jail. Obviously, jail alters a person. Isn't that clear? The more they bicker, the more Tanya drifts away.
For years, he yearned for coming back to Tanya and feeling her intimate touch. Was that all going to be taken away from him now? Fearing losing Tanya, Eric pleads for just ONE intimate night with her. It's the least she could do after all.
If it wasn't for him, SHE would be the one behind bars, not him. Grudgingly, Tanya slightly gives in, guilt playing in Eric's favor. As she timidly allows Eric to caress her, he is ecstatic.
But will one night really suffice?.
