1. The young man used to be kind and sensitive but Vera rejected his love and that had changed him. He became cold and ambitious. Everything he did was to prove to himself that Vera had been wrong. When he met her in the cafe, he was glad to show her how much he had done, seen and achieved. It turned out that Vera hadn't achieved anything. Vera left bccause she didn't know how to behave with that new strong and successful man.
2. The young man had never really loved Vera. He had behaved like a spoiled child and enjoyed her attention and readiness to listen and help. Vera was a very sensitive girl, so she had understood that the man hadn't been right for her. It had taken her a lot of courage to write him a letter to tell him that everything was over. When she met him in the cafe, she was really impressed by him at first. She thought that six years ago she had made a terrible mistake and started thinking about how to correct it. However, very quickly she realized that her old friend hadn't changed and remained the egoist he always had been.
