Before long, Peter arrived at the hospital where Celeste was being examined by a doctor Peter trusted.

“Peter,” the doctor said, “I’ve checked on Celeste. Her wounds are healing well. If things continue like this, we can consider discharging her. After all, I know you’ll take good care of her. There’s nothing like being at home.”

“When would she be discharged?” Peter asked eagerly.

“I think she could leave today or tomorrow, depending on what you two decide. It might be a little inconvenient, but as long as she’s well taken care of, she can go home. I’ll just give you the full list of care instructions, medications, and follow–up appointments you’ll need to stick to.”

“Perfect! Say no more.”

Celeste watched the two men attentively, feeling a bit uncomfortable. Peter was acting as if he were fully responsible for her. She couldn’t quite explain the strange feeling in her chest. Part of her was touched, but another part felt overlooked.

Noticing her unease, the doctor addressed her directly.

“Celeste, you’re a young woman. This man will take very good care of you. He’s been through similar situations- worse ones, even–so he knows exactly what to do and what not to do. Trust me, you’re in capable hands.”

Celeste smiled faintly and nodded. After the awkward exchange, the doctor left. It wasn’t until then that she noticed the bruise on Peter’s face.

“Peter, what happened to your face?” she asked immediately.

Peter took off his coat, walked over to her, and greeted her with a warm kiss on the forehead.
