Peter circled around Maximus’s car. It was clear he owed him a window now. He was heading to his house to ask Theodore for help taking it to the shop. Besides, there was no way he could return to the room with Celeste in this state. It was past 5:00 a.m., so the best option was to go home, take a bath, and patch himself up.

“Frederick, are you home?” Marcus asked while driving toward his house.

“Marcus? Are you okay? Do you need something? What’s going on? You don’t usually call me at this hour unless it’s an emergency,” Frederick said, sitting up abruptly in bed.

With memories resurfacing, things now looked different, and that strange, painful feeling consumed him.

As Peter made his way to his room, Theodore emerged from his own. He noticed how slowly his usually imposing friend was walking, so he stepped in and, seeing him up close, asked:

“Who won?”
