Although Patricia was quite shocked at what her husband did, she was somehow happy because that gave them the opportunity to spend more time with each other. However, when Patricia was in her ballet school teaching, Richard was often found either in the music room playing the piano or in the garage fixing his old 1972 Gran Torino, he had the car when he was still single and had been lying in his garage for so many years. But having been accustomed with people surrounding him every day, the quietness only made the desires in his body screamed even louder that he thought he was going mad.

One day he just found himself driving back to the campus just to see Christina. He wasn’t gonna talk to her, he just wanted to see her, instead what he saw was the blonde in the cafeteria talking to a young man whom he recognized as one his students. The blonde and the male students were seated very close to each other and he didn’t like it. When the male student started touching Christina’s hand, he felt so mad like he was ready to strike and kill.

He went home feeling very angry that he locked himself in the garage until his wife knocked on the door and asked him to join her for dinner. Patricia was becoming so alarmed and worried about her husband’s behavior that he asked him one more time if there was something wrong with him. As always, he would lie to her and tell her that everything was fine but in reality, the attraction that he felt towards his student had turned into an obsession. That night he fucked his wife over and over again with only one woman in his mind… Christina Kennard.

The next three days Richard couldn’t bring himself to play a decent tune in the piano so busied himself by fixing his old car just to keep his mind off her but to no avail. On the fourth day, he decided he couldn’t suppress his feelings anymore and started formulating a plan on how to tell the blonde that he loved her. On the seventh day, while his wife was in her ballet school teaching little girls, driving in his newly fixed and painted 1972 Gran Torino he went to the blonde’s upscale apartment and invited himself in.
