Hector was happy because in the end love affairs are very tiring, so when you find somebody you love and who loves you, you really hope that it will be your last love affair. What’s strange is that, at the same time, you wonder if it isn’t a bit sad to think that it will be your last love affair. You see how complicated love is!
