“Come on! Stop looking at me like that,” Peter said, leaning back in his chair. “You’re the one who wanted to talk. What was so urgent? What’s going on?”

Maximus realized his brother didn’t want to address the topic of Mary. He couldn’t blame him; it wasn’t something Maximus was eager to discuss either. Even after 20 years, the memory of what had happened still hurt. They were just starting to build a real brotherly relationship after years of distance, and he didn’t want to intrude on Peter’s thoughts. So, he let it go.

“It’s Laura…” Maximus finally said.

“What about your daughter?” Peter asked, his curiosity piqued.

Maximus tightened his grip on the steering wheel His knuckles turned white, and Peter noticed how his jaw clenched.

“Laura is pregnant.”

Peter turned to his brother, stunned. For a moment, he said nothing, searching for the right words as he watched Maximus struggling to contain his emotions.

“Look,” Peter said, pointing at a bar. “There’s a place. Let’s grab a drink. I think we both need one.”

Maximus pulled into the parking lot, and the two impeccably dressed men stepped out of the car. Inside, one ordered whiskey, the other cognac. Peter swirled the amber liquid in his glass, warming it with his hand, while Maximus downed his drink in one gulp and immediately ordered another. Peter observed him closely, understanding that his brother was grappling with a piece of news he wasn’t ready for and that it was clearly causing him pain. Despite everything, Maximus was keeping himself under control–at least for now.

“Maximus,” Peter began, “what can I tell you? A few years ago, I went through something similar with Alden. At the time, I wasn’t exactly in my right mind, but I had to make decisions and let me tell you, I don’t regret any of them. Not a single one.”
