Do Not Disturb
Saloranta Elina
The story is told by a woman who is in a relationship with a married man. She has never met his wife and children, but she dreams about them. The wife dreams about her, too. Paradoxically, the wife is relieved now that the other woman has appeared on the scene, since it enables bringing an unsatisfactory marriage to an end. Only the man resists the change.
