“And now look at us—we’re all paying the price.”

“Why are you telling me this now?”

“At first, Peter was only losing bits and pieces of his memory. But having Mary here has made things worse. He needs surgery, but he’s completely refusing it. His doctor explained to me that there’s a 60% chance of success, but the other 40%? There’s a possibility he could lose all lits memories.

“If he doesn’t have the operation, Peter is at serious risk of suffering a stroke or heart failure.

“Believe me, Marcus–whatever happened, Peter wasn’t even aware of what was going on. Most of the time, he’s trapped in limbo, lost between his past and present.“.

Maximus sighed, rubbing a hand over his face.

“I know he’s back in Valentia. He’s looking for Celeste. And I know that nothing I say will change your mind about him. But there’s one thing I want you to know.

“In all the time you were gone, he never once sought out Mary. Even though he was lost in his own memories, some part of him still understands that whatever happened between them was a long, long time ago.”

Marcus scoffed. “Maximus, I have no intention of chasing after your damn brother. I just want to talk to my wife.”

“She’s at my father’s house. If you want to see her, I’ll give you the address. But if you go, I hope it’s to fix things –for her and for your children. Keeping her away from them was beyond cruel.”

“Oh, so now you’re going to tell me what’s right and wrong?” Marcus snapped.

“I’m not the one to judge,” Maximus replied.

“Before you start dragging up the past–before you start talking about what I did over twenty–three years ago— save it. What matters is what I did after, how I changed, how I learned from that mess.

“Maximus… I know I can never truly repay you for taking care of my wife. But it’s time for you to take over now. It’s time for you and Valerie to finally talk. Take me to her.”
