Benito and Paulina had a beautiful sunset marriage. He was yellow, she was red, and together they made orange. Then tragically Paulina died. Later Benito married Victoria and he assumed this marriage would be like the first one. But his yellow and Victoria's blue made green. Not orange. Every marriage has its own unique color and your job is to respect it, not try to paint over it. This means Benito can't restore what was lost but he can accept another beautiful family portrait.
