My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

"Come on, Celeste, let's go already..." said Peter, watching how his wife kept hugging and re-hugging Aria.

"Go on, sweetheart! It's time. I promise I'll come visit you both very soon-and of course, I'm going to help with the wedding prep..." Aria said as she wrapped her arms around her daughter-in-law.

"Mom! Let Celeste go or we're turning back," Peter called out, half teasing, half rushing them.

He knew very well that Aria and Celeste had formed a strong bond-more than just in-laws, they were friends.

Aria, the woman who'd been absent for most of his life, had now become one of the brightest parts of his days. And though a part of him wished he could take her with them, he knew this was her time too-her moment to enjoy life.

"My lovely, elegant ladies, I don't mean to hurry you, but if the twins wake up, we've got a long ride ahead of us," Peter said, pointing to the back seat of the SUV.

"My loves, I'll miss you both so much, but you need your space now... As soon as you're settled, I'll come visit. Take it easy-the wedding is still three months away. We have time," Aria said, trying to ease the farewell, especially for Celeste, who was visibly emotional.

"Yes, Aria, and I'll need your help with it all. I trust you'll visit us soon..." Celeste added, a lump rising in her throat.

"Of course, sweet girl! And I wouldn't miss a chance to be with my grandbabies," Aria said, trying to keep Celeste calm.
