The Breaking Point of Love

Kietan frowned. “Not a single lead?”

“Yeah,” his friend replied. “I heard she got married pretty young, it apparently her relationship with her husband wasn’t great.

“The Rodriguez family’s neighbors say they’ve never even seen the guy. It seems like her family doesn’t like him either. They

won’t even mention him.”

After a short pause, he added, “Also, they already have a child.”

Kieran abruptly looked up, thinking he must have misheard. “What did you say?”

“It’s true. I was just as shocked when I found out. You’d never guess, just looking at her.”

Indeed.

He had worked with Celeste at YodaVision for so long and had never once heard her mention a child. Nothing about her gave that impression either.

Seeing how stunned he was, his friend asked, “Want me to keep going?”

The implication was clear—Celeste had been married and had a child. Would Kieran still like her? If not, then there was no point in continuing to dig into her past.

Kieran stood there silently.

He had everything going for him, yet his love life had always been a mess.
