“You have a cat?”

“Yes! Look…” Celeste said, pulling out her phone and showing Peter the lock screen photo.

Peter noticed two things immediately. First, the phone was a bit outdated, confirming her financial struggles. Yet despite that, Celeste carried herself like royalty–it wasn’t about her clothes or accessories but her demeanor. Her face radiated warmth and poise, even amidst her hardships. In the photo, she was smiling brightly, cradling her cat in her arms. Her happiness lit up the screen.

Peter considered offering her help but stopped himself. He didn’t want to make her uncomfortable. For now, he decided to continue the evening and think carefully about how to approach it later.

“Ethan is my grandson. His father runs my company, and in return, I take care of Ethan. Well, Theodore helps too. Basically, we’re his grandfathers.”

“You don’t look like a grandfather. You could easily pass as his father!”

“Oh, no. I don’t think so. I’m an old man.”

“Of course not! You look like a movie star–a very hot movie star…” Celeste said, only to freeze as she realized her slip.
