Almost right at the entrance to the restaurant, a quarrel nearly broke out between Alisa and Pavel. She perfectly understood — this conversation had to happen sooner or later.

Natasha came home earlier than usual and, taking off her coat in the hallway, heard Kirill talking to someone on the phone in the kitchen.
