Peter had just left the bedroom, making his way toward the living room when, at the top of the stairs, he ran into
a familiar figure. Katherine was coming up, and Peter knew her well enough to recognize that she wasn’t exactly
someone to be trusted-neither in the past nor now. She was someone to be wary of. In a way, he could
understand the concern or gut feeling Celeste, his future wife, had about her.
“Katherine, where exactly do you think you're going?” Peter asked sharply.
“Sorry, | think | got lost. | was looking for the restroom...” Ratherine sald shamelessly.
“You and | both know that’s the last thing you were doing. What do you really want?” Peter asked, irritated.
“Alright, you caught me. | wanted to talk to you alone for a moment. And while | was at it, | figured I'd deliver a
gift | brought for your fiancée,” Katherine said calmly.

“Fair enough. Whatever you say.
Peter led the way to his study, and as promised, left the door open. He sat behind his desk while Katherine took
a seat in one of the chairs across from him.
“Before anything else, | want to thank you,” Katherine said sincerely.
“Thank me?” Peter asked, intrigued.
“Yes! If it weren't for you, Alden wouldn't be here today. You and | would never have crossed paths again, and we
wouldn't have Ethan in our lives.”
“You know | don’t remember any of that, right?”
“I know! But listen, Peter, | may be a lot of things, but ungrateful isn’t one of them,” Katherine said seriously.
“Theodore also toldthat | approved a lifelong pension for you...”
“Oh, yes! And I'm incredibly grateful for that. It really helpedwhen | cback. But you know me, Peter-|
don’t like taking handouts.”
“Are you sure?”
“Of course. So, I'm asking you to cancel that support. And the money you gave me-I'll be returning it. It helped
