OPTION 2:

It is nine o'clock in the evening. In an evening dress, a beautiful young man of twenty has an opera hat and a bunch of flowers in his hands; as he approaches the room, the flowers are placed on the piano. The apartment is furnished and fashioned in the South Kensington flair; it is a showroom that demonstrates a racial position and the spending power of the owner. The woman walks into the room as she is dressed for the theatre, wearing so many diamonds to portray an image of a beautiful young woman, but the truth is she is 37. Jacob, the young man, kisses the hand of the woman!

The woman is panicking, and Jacob, the young man, is concerned about what is going on. The woman says, "Jacob, something dreadful happened. I have lost your poems." Jacob insists that he will write more poems for him, and she refused to blame herself that she was imprudent. She is worried about who will access the lyrics of the poem because they articulate the intimate aspects and characteristics of the beautiful Aurora. She is concerned that her husband's relatives will judge her the minute they get hold of the letters. The woman becomes fearful and paranoid. She is questioning Jacob about the worst that could happen if Rango was to find out her infidelity, and Jacob seems not to care about what other people might think of the situation.

Jacob explains to Aurora that "We love one another, and I am not ashamed of that. I am ready to go out and proclaim to the entire city as simply as I will declare it to your husband when you see, as soon as you will see that this is the only way honourable enough for your feet to tread." He begs the woman to come with him to his own house without any shame or fear of being caught. Jacob has always insisted on simplicity because he cannot afford diamonds that Aurora puts on. He proposes that they go to Rango and inform him that they are leaving together, and she warns him that the husband would kill him. Jacob is willing to fight the husband to elope with his lover.

The woman tells him, "No! Stop! There is no need of saying all these Mr. Mason; I thought you were only a boy, a child, a dreamer. I thought you would be too much afraid to do anything. And now you want to beat Rango and to break up my home and disgrace me and make a horrible scandal in the papers." Jacob flinches because, as a young man, he thought that happiness and blessings had knocked at his door. He breaks one of her fans in the room out of anger. She is convinced that the poems are in Christina's possession, Rango's sister and confronts Jacob that he should be able to get her out of this mess because he is to blame.

The husband walks into the house, well-groomed wealthy man with no sign of displeasure quite the contrary. He asks Jacob if he can have a word with him, so Aurora left the room, and after a while, she heard an argument. Rango wants Jacob to admit that he admires his wife; so many men have tried swaying her in the past, and it was not the first time it was happening. Ironically, Jacob refutes ever writing poems to her. Suddenly, the two engage in a physical fight that forces Jacob to speak the truth about the poems he had written. The woman begs the lover at that moment, not to fight back. Rango turns to the wife in that heated moment to choose who she loves so much, and despite refusing to leave with the young man, she decided to go with Jacob because she felt young and beautiful again. One could assert that Aurora chose the young man because he was romantic, something that she had not felt for years with the husband, or some would conclude that the woman wanted to be freed from the marriage because she was unhappy.

The husband asked the young man to take care of his wife and work on the pieces of poems he had created because he is talented. Rango is unhappy about the decision she made; he wants to work on this young man's gift expressed in the poems. The woman leaves her husband's apartment; she walks out, crying, and remorseful; Jacob smiles as he walks out, holding her hand.
