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.

“Peter…” came a voice from behind the door.

“Come in,” Peter replied, pulling himself out of his thoughts.

Theodore entered briskly and took a seat across from him.

“How are you? How did it go?” Theodore asked curiously.

“Fine…” Peter answered, his gaze distant.

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

Peter raised his eyes and gave him a faint smile.

“What’s wrong, my friend? Has Ethan had breakfast?”

“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?”

“She’s a wonderful woman, but with all this happening, I don’t know how much time we have before everything explodes. I’m not sure if I want to go through that.”

“Are you thinking of running away? You know Ethan has adapted so well to school–he even has a best friend.”
