Back at home, Elena and Nico talk intimately in the living room. Elena tells Nico she wants to give him oral sex but she’s never done it before. A surprised Nico agrees. Afterwards, they have penetrative sex. Elena is shocked when Nico kisses her on the mouth. They both embrace the moment. Overwhelmed by emotion, Nico tells Elena to let him ejaculate inside of her; she does.

Nico holds Elena in his arms, marveling at how much he likes being with her. They engage in intimate conversation. Nico makes a comment about work and realizes Elena misinterpreted it to be about his extramarital affairs. He corrects himself and then makes her promise that she’ll only be with him. She does.

Later on, Nico remembers Gianna’s warning and realizes she was right. He’s fallen for Elena and doesn’t know if she reciprocates. He gets up to go do a job. When he returns, he finds Elena in bed. He studies her sleeping body, desperate to make her love him.
