My existence in her life

Édouard was ready to leave and picked up the alcohol bottle. "I am taking this with me," Édouard said, "and you will never drink from now onward."

"It relieves my stress," Damien said.

"Find another way to relieve your stress," Édouard stated. "Alcohol caused more deaths. I bet you have noticed how people die early because of high alcohol consumption. Today was the last time I saw you in a drunk state," he muttered.

"Did I look like a drunkard? I was sober enough," Damien stated.

"The way you were walking told me how sober you were," Édouard remarked. "Have your dinner and sleep well. This is your home and you have to live your entire life here," he said with an authoritative tone.

"I understand," Damien said.

Édouard turned to walk out when Damien called out his name. "You are incredible, Édouard," he said and smiled at him.
