Rose and Lily

From then on, he could no longer draw.

He used to be a proud young artist, full of expectations for his promising future.

The sudden and unexpected event left both Carol and him at a loss as to what to do.

He used to think he was going to be an artist for the rest of his life, but now he didn't know what to do.

He began to wonder if he had been wrong.

He could only draw, but he had irresponsibly taken Carol away from her family. How could he provide for her now with a disabled right hand?

Carol was more anxious than him.

She urged him every day to find a job and even sent his CVs online.

All this made him even edgier.

He began to drink.

His pent-up anger and resentment were magnified by the alcohol. He got drunk and started smashing things as if that was the only way to make himself feel better.

Carol was frightened.

They fought, reconciled, and started fighting again.

Finally, when he was hospitalized with alcohol poisoning, she left him a letter and left.
