After a few minutes, Marcus left the Palmer mansion. Peter sat in his chair, his mind a complete mess. He couldn’t understand how he had managed to stay stoic in such a situation. Deep down, he knew it was only a matter of time before everything blew up in his face. What he didn’t know yet was whether he’d be ready when it happened.

Theodore entered briskly and took a seat across from him.

“Peter, look at me,” Theodore said firmly.

Peter raised his eyes and gave him a faint smile.

“Ethan’s fine. He’s already eaten and is watching cartoons. You know how he is–today’s his day off from homework.”

“Theodore… I need your help finding an apartment. Nothing extravagant, but it should be close to Clearmount.”

“We’re moving?”

“No, it’s not for me–it’s for…” Peter stopped himself before saying the name.

“It’s for Celeste, isn’t it?”
