"Good morning, my dear," Juliet said to the Knight, "I'm going to work."
"Work?" repeated the Knight who didn't understand anything.
"Yes," replied Juliet. "When you left, I started weaving carpets and drinking wine to pass the time. After three years, I drank more than I wove. In the end, I had to find something else to occupy myself with."
The Knight sat up in bed and asked her, full of curiosity: "What do you do then?"
"Castle restorations." "What? What?"
"Castle restorations. They are all poorly designed. The rooms are too large, drafts circulate in the corridors, the stone walls are freezing."
"And... they pay you to do this?"
Juliet smiled, overjoyed: "And very well, indeed. I make their rooms warmer and more comfortable. I've become famous for making castle-nests."
She looked at him questioningly: "You don't mind that I work, do you?"
The Knight, motionless in the courtyard and with mixed feelings, remained looking at her as she walked away.

If in "The Knight in Rusty Armor" (his worldwide bestseller), R. Fisher tried to show us the way to free ourselves from the oppressive armor we all wear for protection, in "The Return of the Knight," he encourages us to face the most complex of all challenges: our coexistence with our partner within the fluid relationship of the couple.
