"Celeste, what is she talking about?" Celeste didn't react. She just kept staring down at me with a haughty look in her eyes. I looked at the crowd around us, at the phones pointed at her face, at the doubt already spreading through their eyes like ink in water. "Your pussy must really be something special," I added clearly, so every recording device in that lobby would catch every syllable. "It must be absolutely extraordinary if it was enough to convince my husband to give you five billion dollars for your Helix laboratory."

"He has a lot of his mother in him." The sentence landed in the space between us. Celeste's glass stilled halfway to her mouth. Kieran's jaw moved once but he didn't say anything. I felt the specific warmth of pride move through my chest, clean and uncomplicated, the pride not of a woman watching a man win something on her behalf but of a woman who has heard an accurate thing said clearly in a room where accurate things were rarely said clearly.

“I can’t remember the last time I went to a movie theater.” “Same here,” she added. “I genuinely cannot remember the last movie I saw in a theater.” “Well,” Logan said. “That makes two of us.” They clinked their glasses together lightly. Celeste suddenly leaned forward slightly. “Can I tell you a secret?” she asked. Logan narrowed his eyes playfully. “I’m not going to promise I won’t tell someone else.” She shrugged. “I’m not asking you to.” “Why do I feel like this is going to be interesting?”

People began moving toward the door. Celeste stayed seated. I stayed with her. When the room was empty except for the two of us I looked at her across the table.

“You really have to say something like that even when you’re being kind? Like you’re some kind of motivational speaker who never misses a chance?” Jordan’s eyes twinkled with that usual arrogance and something I can only call genuine care. “Someone’s got to,” he replied. “Besides, I’m a man of many talents. Brains, charm, and the occasional pep talk.” He paused. “For real though. Don't look back, Celest. Be brave. Be who you truly want to be.”

She is so f*cking nice to me it hurts. She had left a note for me on my study table. "Just keep breathing," it reads. Just keep hoping, she means.

“And she is the light in your dark life who will always show you the right path.” “That’s a different thing that I had paired you with two of my daughters. But…sometimes people’s deeds change their fate, and that isn’t in God or Goddess’s hand.” ‘Does that mean you can change your fate?’ Theodore tried to ask, but he failed. “What the fuck!! Why am I not able to speak?” he shouted in irritation, and everyone started looking at him as if he was an alien. “Did I speak that loud? He asked himself and looked at Selene, who had disappeared. Liara reached near him.
