Kerinin knows it. I do not actually love him. Not the way he wants me too. He must realize that I hate him and the world demands us to divorce. So, he has gone out to get a divorce again.

Vronsky found out that a divorce will go through. He has come, showering me with gifts and kisses. He is so excited to be with me. I do love him and I want to be with him, but I cannot. This would mean I would have to give up Seriozah. I can’t get a divorce. I want to be happy with Vronsky but not by getting a divorce. I can’t stop the tears. I love both Seriozah and Vronsky.

However, can I really live with Kerinin? He is right, we cannot live together. I loathe him!

It is decided. Vronsky, is not going to work in a new office. Instead he is going to whisk me off to Europe. How romantic! (Although I am sad to leave Seriozah alone in the house with Kerinin). But indeed, I am happiest to be with Vronsky. Europe is the only place we can go.
