Gabriel is clueless to what happened and apologizes for something that is out of his control. Daniela is angry and says that is not enough. They need to do something about it. Later, when Daniela is working, Gabriel wants her to take a break because she is so tired. She thanks him but makes a comment about her "responsibiity"to her work. He sort of takes offense at her "indirect" comment. Surprisingly, she makes a point of saying it wasn't an "indirect" comment. As he leaves, he tries to tell her he loves her but she cannot hear him above the sound of the machinery. It is not until he is gone that she turns off the machinery thinking she heard him say something. At dinner time, Daniela is cooking and Gabriel has come up with an idea. He is super excited. He saw a loan offer on the internet that would give them the money they need with no interest for 12 months! Daniela cannot believe he would suggest something like that. She flies off the handle exasperated saying she doesn't know how many times she has to tell him that they have no money! She loves him but has to admit that she really doesn't know him. She can't see them going on like this. Their marriage does not work. Gabriel wants their marriage to work. He will listen to her. She tells him that before they were married they each had their own space and identity. That is not how it is now. They both need to be complete as individuals before they can come together to be a successful couple. She tells him that he needs to do what the best is for him not her. They just seem to want opposite things.
