Peter had returned to Slovenia, still grappling with the weight of Maximus’s words. He wasn’t naive—he knew exactly what his brother had meant. Since his memories had started coming back, his mind had become a battlefield of chaos. Between the problems he had created and those completely beyond his control, he hadn’t had the time to see the doctor he’d been recommended.

This neglect was taking a toll on his recovery. His mind felt stuck, constantly drifting between the past and the present. Some mornings, as he woke up, he was convinced that Mary was in his arms. But a sharp pain shot through him when he opened his eyes and realized it was Celeste’s face and scent beside him.

Despite this, Peter did his best to ensure that Celeste never suspected anything. He was affectionate, attentive, and loving toward her. To Celeste, the man beside her seemed unwavering in his devotion, oblivious to the emotional storm he was concealing.

Meanwhile, someone else was growing increasingly worried–Maximus. Unable to shake his unease, he decided to call Theodore,

“Theodore… Theodore Bennett?”

“Yes, Maximus. What’s going on?”

“I wasn’t sure you’d recognize my voice.”

“I’m old, not deaf. What do you need?”

“It’s Peter…”

“Well, Peter’s nearly 49, Maximus. I’m not sure I can help much. The man’s stubborn.”
