Beck nodded. "I've been here for a while."
Then his gaze fell on Celeste and on the telescope beside her. "Doing some stargazing?"
Celeste hummed a reply.
Beck looked genuinely interested. "What are you looking at now? Mind if I take a look?"
Celeste turned to Kieran and said, "It's not my equipment, it's—"
But Kieran's expression had already gone back to normal. "If you're interested, go ahead."
Beck smiled. "Thanks."
He'd handled telescopes before, though not often. As he looked through the eyepiece, he asked, "What's that red patch in there?"
Celeste replied, "A hydrogen cloud."
"Which galaxy's hydrogen cloud?"
The questions Beck asked were fairly basic, beginner-level stuff. But Celeste didn't show a trace of impatience, answering each one calmly.
Kieran, however, watched quietly, his expression unreadable.
Since Caleb, Trevor, and Beck's companies all had business ties with YodaVision, Beck's coming over to greet Matthias and Celeste didn't seem unusual—Caleb thought he was just being polite.
But Kieran knew that until today, Celeste had no idea that both he and Beck liked her.
And since she didn't know, and Beck clearly hadn't told her either, Kieran preferred to keep it that way. He deliberately hid any hint of hostility toward Beck.
Even so, Caleb still caught on.
Because the look Kieran gave Beck was the same cold, guarded look he'd once given him.
Caleb paused, wondering if he was imagining it, but when he turned and caught the way Beck was looking at Celeste, he knew he wasn't mistaken.
He glanced at Beck, surprise flickering in his eyes. He truly didn't expect that Beck would like Celeste too.
Then he gave a small, knowing smile.
Not long after, Wynn also heard about it and decided to go as well.
Unlike Celeste's group, though, she went alone.
Carrying a flower lantern, she hadn't even reached the clearing yet when she saw, not far away, both Caleb and Kieran standing close to Celeste—each gently releasing a firefly into her open palm.
Wynn knew a bit about Caleb and Jorge's circle—none of them were particularly close with Trevor or Matthias's group.
Normally, given Caleb's tight schedule, even if he wanted to hang out, it would be with his own crowd.
So, for him to show up here, spending the evening with Matthias and the others—there had to be a reason.
And now, that reason was clear as day.
If before she'd still had a sliver of doubt about whether Caleb really liked Celeste—then now, she had her answer.
Caleb truly liked her.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
I'm so excited for tomorrow! I wonder what happened to Jo... What is the story behind that court summons?...
A court summons? Oh my God, what happened?...
Here we go again…drip-drop. One page a day instead of the promised 5 Chapters and even that stops suddenly so we never know if the story will advance. I swear this author is writing the new page on their lunch break and laughing at us when we get frustrated....
I feel like reading the novel from everyone else's perspective, but the main characters. There has never been a glimpse on Trevor's side of thoughts or intentions. He feels like a ghost in this whole storyline. Although i am glad that Mathias revealed the truth about Celeste, but it still feels empty without main character's thoughts or feelings or voices being shared....
Wynn's reputation is over. I read all these chapters for this moment... I'm really glad that Matthias finally said everything at once. All thanks to the fool Quinton...
So we're going to keep going in circles atp,nothing was revealed that we didn't already know,I mean I would've at least liked to see Trevor's reaction to finding out his wife is the co-owner and coder to CUAP,find out who drugged them.Whats happening with the military blacksite,how come Celeste is so quiet she never stands up for herself. All we're getting is reaction's from side character's who don't matter...
Yes.. I'm looking forward to the upcoming chapters......
I don't really understand the writer. Why are Trevor and Celeste silent now? Isn't it about them?...
Who the helly is georgette 😆...
Alas..the truth that has been buried since…is prevailing....
