Peter embraced Celeste and kissed her forehead. Inside, a quiet conflict still simmered, but he knew he had to let it go. He couldn’t turn back time to his life with Mary. Their paths had diverged 12 years ago, a decision he had made himself. There was no point in reopening old wounds. He didn’t want to hurt his former love or his friend, which was why he had left back then. Now, the past had to stay where it belonged.

Celeste, on the other hand, felt the warmth of Peter’s embrace and couldn’t help but notice how her heart raced. Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined her life would change so drastically in just a few days. The future felt uncertain, but one thing was clear: she wouldn’t be alone. It was time to let go, time to say goodbye to Adam- her first and only love. She would carry him in her heart forever, but now it was time to move on.
