Matthias remarked, “You guys are here early. Didn't you work late last night?”
“They did,” Henry replied. “But to stay on schedule, they still cin first thing in the morning. Pretty intense,
huh?”
Matthias didn’t bother commenting further, and Celeste simply focused on her own work.

Celeste instinctively turned to look, but before she could fully take in the scene, Trevor's expression changed
drastically.

Matthias snapped, “Shut up!”
Henry could only shut his mouth.
Celeste genuinely didn’t care anymore. Seeing Matthias’s concern for her, she smiled lightly. “It’s not a big deal.
It doesn’t hurt much now.”
Matthias pressed his lips together. “Do you want to go hand rest?”
Celeste shook her head, patted his shoulder, and said, “I'm not that fragile. Let's get back to work.”
“Alright,” Matthias mumbled in response, then hesitated before asking, “It’s been a while... Why haven't you and

Celeste said, “I'd like to know that too.”
Last night, she had wanted to discuss exactly that with Trevor-when they could officially finalize their divorce.
But he had left abruptly and completely forgotten about their conversation.
