You're almost asleep. The other side of the bed is empty... You haven't seen your husband much in the last few days. Alva spends most of his time in the laboratory with his apprentice. And on the one hand, you're glad that he's found someone again, someone who shares an understanding of the importance of the forever perfect machine.. But on the other hand, sometimes you can't keep up with him.. The creak of the door. You see his tall figure staring at you intently for a few seconds to figure out if you're asleep or not. Realizing that you were still awake, he came closer. Kneeling by the bed, Alva muttered guiltily:

"I'm late again..." And carefully offered you a box of your favorite chocolate with one hand. Despite Alva's devotion to his work, his love for you still had no end.
