---
The Tuesday evening air was heavy with unspoken thoughts as Celeste stepped into the elevator beside Matthias. The day's work had drained them both, but her mind was elsewhere — tangled in the invisible threads of a marriage that was supposed to end tomorrow. She glanced at the date on her phone, her eyes lingering a moment too long. Matthias, ever perceptive despite his exhaustion, broke the silence. "Tomorrow should be the last day of the cooling-off period, right?"
"Yes." Her voice was calm, but beneath it lay a quiet storm. After all these years of loving Trevor, the final curtain was about to fall. Matthias didn't know whether to feel happy for her or sad. He carried nothing but resentment toward Trevor — the man who had wasted Celeste's years of devotion. Yet, watching her now, he felt a flicker of sympathy. Love had been a cruel teacher for her. But everything, no matter how painful, eventually finds its end. He patted her shoulder with a gentle, wordless comfort. Tomorrow would be a new beginning.
The next morning arrived with the quiet routine of a run and breakfast. Celeste returned to her office, ready to dive into work, when her phone rang. Trevor's name lit up the screen. They had agreed: the day after the cooling-off period ended, they would register the divorce. So this call was expected. She answered with a simple "Hello," and before he could speak, she added, "I'll be there on time at nine tomorrow morning—"
Trevor cut her off. "I'm currently overseas on a business trip." The words hit her like a cold wave. He continued, "I probably won't be able to make it back for a few more days. We might need to delay registering the divorce."
Silence. Celeste's brows furrowed deeply. She felt the familiar ache of disappointment — not of love, but of closure being snatched away. He apologized, but she cut through it with a curt "Got it." Then she hung up, not waiting for more excuses. She rubbed her forehead, trying to steady the storm inside. But the phone rang again almost immediately.
This time, it was Caleb.
She frowned. She would be visiting the military base often in the future. Running into him was inevitable. Answering his call now would only give him hope. But ignoring it felt rude. After a moment of hesitation, she picked up. "Hello."
His voice was warm, pleasant — the kind that could melt ice. "Are you busy?"
"Kind of." Her frustration seeped through her tone. He chuckled softly. "I haven't started my vacation yet. Just had a moment today, so I thought I'd give you a call. Even if my call bothers you, I regret to inform you — I don't plan to stop." Celeste was dumbfounded. Before she could respond, he asked about her well-being, and then, carefully, about the divorce. "I know this might be a little forward, but I still want to ask — you two were supposed to finalize it tomorrow, right?"
She cut him off bluntly. "That was the plan, but it's been postponed."
His smile froze. "Can I ask why? Was it your decision, or his?"
"He went abroad on a business trip. He won't be back in time."
"So once he's back, you'll go finalize it right away?"
"...Yes." That was good enough for Caleb. He hoped that by the time he got vacation, she would already be free.
But then Celeste said, "Mr. Jennings, I actually picked up your call because I wanted to—"
"I know." He interrupted her with a light laugh, finding her honesty endearing. "You're going to tell me that answering my call doesn't mean you're interested, and that you only answered out of politeness to gently turn me down again. I know. But my stance won't change." Then he added, "I don't have much time now. Once I'm done with everything, I'll come find you for a meal. See you soon."
He hung up before she could argue.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
This chapter is a masterful study in emotional tension. The weight of a postponed divorce is paired with Caleb's stubborn persistence, creating a delicate tightrope between closure and new beginnings. Celeste's quiet resignation and Trevor's inconvenient timing feel frustratingly real — life rarely gives us the clean endings we crave. Caleb's charm is both refreshing and unsettling. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
With the divorce delayed indefinitely and Caleb circling closer, Celeste is trapped between two men who want different things from her. Trevor's excuse feels thin — is he truly on business, or is he stalling? And Caleb's determination might push her into a corner where she has to make a choice she's not ready for. Expect a confrontation — or a revelation — that will shake the foundations of everything Celeste thought she knew.
