After that brief conversation, Peter wrapped his arms around Celeste. She could feel the warmth radiating from him as his strong embrace surrounded her. It had been months since she had felt anything like this.

And yet, the man holding her now was nothing like the Peter she remembered. His warmth, his actions, everything about him felt unfamiliar. But deep down, she knew–her Peter was still in th somewhere.

The next morning, when Celeste woke up, Peter was no longer in the room. It was already past 10:00 AM, and the only reason she had woken up was because her stomach was growling with hunger.

She had fallen into a deep sleep the night before, and even now, she still felt incredibly well–rested. It was strange -Peter’s presence seemed to relax her in a way she hadn’t realized, even making her forget to eat.

As she replayed their conversation from the night before, she got up, took a shower, and planned to go find something to eat. But when she stepped out of the bathroom, Peter was already back in the room.

“Good, you’re awake,” he said, watching her intently.

That look made her a little self–conscious.

It was him–same body, same man–but his personality felt completely different.

“H–Hi…” Celeste stammered, caught off guard.

She was wrapped in a towel, which barely covered her growing belly. Peter’s gaze swept over her petite frame, lingering for a moment before he made a slight smirk.

“Need some help?” he asked, his tone unusual.

“Help with what?” she asked, her voice full of hesitation.

“Drying your hair. Come, sit down,” he said, gesturing for her to sit. “I went for a walk earlier. Alden, Serenity, and Ethan left the house really early–they went to the doctor. It’s funny… I still haven’t met my grandson, and I really want to see what he looks like,” Peter said with genuine excitement.

He took her hand, guiding her to sit. Celeste instinctively clutched her towel tightly, as if her life depended on it. Peter noticed the way she was tensing up.

He crouched in front of her, gently lifted her chin, and kissed her. It was warm, soft–almost tender.
