Back at home, after some prodding from Tereza, he admitted that he had been jealous watching her dance with a colleague of his.

I know I should say something to her, but before I can find the words, she's tooting her horn and disappearing down the street.I wave until she turns the corner. And as I watch another person drive out of here to some better place, I understand exactly why I wasn't nicer.
