"Never! I doubt I’ll live that long."
"Dad…!"
"Hey, so what time should we be there?"
"7:00 PM."
"Great. I assume it’ll be at Peter’s place?"
"That’s right."
"By the way, how’s my brother?"
"He’s good. So good that he left for Willowcombe with Celeste today."
"That Peter—he just can’t sit still, can he?"
"Nope! Ever since he woke up, he’s been like a caged lion. Honestly, can I tell you something?"
"Of course."
"The old Peter was serious, sometimes even intimidating. But now… he’s completely different—so much more relaxed. Honestly, Alden seems more responsible than Peter now," Serenity said as if sharing a secret.
"That’s the Peter he always was! That’s the real Peter! If I’m being honest, I always envied him. He was outgoing, had friends everywhere, and girls were all over him. Though, when we were young, he only saw them as friends. But later…" Maximus said, reminiscing.
"Later what?"
"Well… Peter was quite the ladies’ man. I was surprised when Alden told me he’s so devoted to Celeste now. For a moment, I worried he wouldn’t step up for the babies."
"Oh no, I can’t even imagine that! He’s constantly making sure Celeste is okay—they’re always on the move. And I have to admit something."
"What?"
"Without a doubt, Peter looks happy..."
"That’s one of the things that makes me happiest. Sometimes, I think that losing memories isn’t as bad as it seems… Don’t you think?"
