My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Peter felt exhausted. That day, he had a meeting he couldn’t postpone. He and Theodore had been negotiating the purchase of a refinery located in the United Arab Emirates. The owner was quite the shark, making the days long and grueling. Peter had thought that once the deal was finalized, he could take a vacation with Celeste, but after her accident, that trip had to be postponed.

He wasn’t entirely sure what he felt when he found out she had been hurt. One thing was clear, though- surprisingly, scenes from his own accident came flooding back. They only came in flashes, but he was certain he remembered several details.

He distinctly remembered hearing several men talking around him, warning each other not to touch him. One voice said his head was shattered. Another pointed out that he was still breathing. Yet another remarked that he should have been dead. Then came the memory of someone putting a mask over his face. He recalled mentally repeating Mary’s name over and over. Amazingly, it was the first time her name had come to mind. No matter how hard he had tried before, he had never been able to see her face. This was the first time her name resurfaced so clearly.

This week had undoubtedly been exhausting for Peter. When he finally arrived home, Ethan greeted him with a warm hug.

“Grandpa, how’s Miss? Is she okay? Can you tell me…?”

“Ethan, Miss Celeste is okay, but I think she’ll be out of school for a long time.”

Ethan looked at Peter and his little eyes filled with tears.

“Is Miss going to die?”

“No, Ethan, she’s fine. It’s just that she broke her legs when the structure fell on her, but I have some news that you might like.”

What is it, Grandpa? Tell me!”

“I’m going to talk to her. I know she lives far away from here, and I’m going to offer for her to live with us. Here we can take care of her and help her heal quickly.”

“Yes! Yes! I can take care of her… Yes, she can live here with us! The house is so big, and she can live with us. Plus, Spike already settled in my room, he’s very comfortable there.”
