Celeste was lying in her bed, feeling strangely eager to see familiar face walk through the door. She had only been dating Peter for a few days, but she already began to miss him. At first, when she met him, he had seemed like an imposing man. When she learned his age and the way he looked at her, she thought the 15–year age gap was too much. 

But as she got to know him more, she discovered that bench that exterior was a kind, warm, and simple man, someone who enjoyed a peaceful life. 

For a moment, she let herself get lost in the memory of him and her In his apartment. Her own home was modest; it wasn’t full of luxury, but his presence fit there like only he could. Peter, dressed in thousands of dollars worth of clothes, enjoyed sitting on a cheap sofa with her, watching movies and eating snacks. 

This man had entered her life slowly, like the calm before a storm. As he grew closer, he began to leave his mark on her. Just thinking about those few days with him made a smile form on her face. Any woman would fall in love with a man like Peter–imposing, charismatic, sophisticated, and mature. 

She was falling for those eyes that reflected wisdom and warmth, for his confident attitude, his genuine smile, and the way he carried himself. Little by little, he was entering her heart. To her surprise, even though the door opened several times, Peter didn’t show up. She tried not to dwell on it; a man like him must have a busy life. Beatrice, the nurse hired by Peter to care for Celeste, was a middle–aged woman. She knew that Celeste had no family and had risked her life to save two children from Clearmount. Peter Palmer had been very clear about wanting to ensure her comfort and care. Beatrice, looking at the beautiful woman, felt that she was fortunate to be In such a position; a man as attractive as Peter was completely devoted to her care. 

“Miss Celeste, how are you feeling?” Beatrice asked. 

“Hello! I still feel a bit dizzy, but I guess it’s from the anesthesia. My legs hurt a little, and I have a bit of an appetite.” 

“Yes, I’ve brought you some food, just what has been authorized for you.” 

“Excuse me, who are you?” Celeste asked, intrigued by the woman. 

At first, Celeste thought she was just another nurse, but seeing how familiar the woman was with the room made her question that. 

“Mr. Palmer hired me to take care of you. I’m sure he feels more at ease knowing someone is watching over you 24 17. He was here until this moming, but after he left, he asked me to take care of you.” 

“He hasn’t come back?” 

“No, miss. He left this morning.” 

“I see… What can I have for breakfast?” 

“I’ve brought you some lemon tea, fruit, and oatmeal with cinnamon.” 

“That’s quite a light breakfast! I could really use a cup of coffee!” 

“That’s right, miss! Don’t worry, if everything goes well in the next few days, you’ll be back in your home. I think you’ll feel more comfortable there than here.” 

Celeste didn’t want to mention that she was worried about how her recovery would go. Normally, people have family to take care of them, but she was completely alone, and she didn’t want to be more of a burden to Peter. 

“Miss Celeste, don’t worry, Mr. Palmer will probably come tomorrow. He seems very interested in you. You’re a
