Even though he admires a beautiful woman named Aurelia and sometimes dreams of a more exciting life, he realizes that true happiness is in the simple, familiar moments he shares with Prue. He thinks about the difference between his exciting daydreams and his real life, learning that even though life might seem ordinary, it can still be full of joy and wonder.
