Celeste was lying in her bed, feeling strangely eager to see familiar face walk through the door. She had only been dating Peter for a few days, but she already began to miss him. At first, when she met him, he had seemed like an imposing man. When she learned his age and the way he looked at her, she thought the 15–year age gap was too much.
