A dim lamp lit up their room, and a gust of wind coming from the open window tickled his skin, so Pietro pulled the blanket up to his chest, he rolled over to the side as his dreams filled with streaks of the events of yesterday afternoon. Half-awake, his hand fumbled to the side, realizing that it was empty which meant Crystal had moved away from the bed.

Pietro opened his eyes, he looked around with his sleepy eyes, he did not find Crystal but Lockjaw sleeping peacefully in his place.

Then he faintly heard a sound, and immediately realized it was coming from the balcony. Pietro got himself out of the comfort of the bed, walking towards the balcony with silent steps. The balcony and the bedroom were separated by a double door.

"You know I can't go now,"

It was Crystal's voice.

"No, Pietro is asleep," she said in a lowered voice.

Pietro could hear Crystal's voice that was full of passion and sounded pleasant, she seemed to be talking to someone else via com-link.

But with whom, he didn't know, despite all the reasons and guesses Pietro had in mind, it was strange for him to know his wife was calling someone at three in the morning.

"I guess I just wanted to talk, thank you for picking up my phone, D..." Crystal was talking.

"When you said '24/7' you really weren't kidding," Crystal continued.

"Okay, good night, or maybe good morning... I'll see you later," Crystal said in a soft voice, then ended the call.

Pietro took a step back away from the door, he darted back to the bed, and covered himself with the blanket, though his heart was filled with questions and doubts, he didn't ask Crystal anything. In the silence, he knew Crystal had returned to the bed, pulled up the blanket, then went back to sleep.

The sun had risen, and after having breakfast together in the dining room as usual, Pietro found Crystal getting ready in her room, as if she was going somewhere, and out of curiosity, Pietro asked.

"You want to go?" Pietro asked as he removed the headset from his ear.

"Yeah... I've got something to do," Crystal replied.

"Is this about the embassy things?" Pietro asked again.

Crystal nodded

"So you're going to earth?" Pietro asked while stroking Lockjaw who came to him, that dog seemed ready to take Crystal wherever she wanted to go.

"Yes, that's right," Crystal confirmed.

"I can come with you, maybe I can help you with something?" Pietro offered.

"If you come, who will take care of Luna? She is very happy that you are staying, you should spend more time with her, Pietro," Crystal suggested.

"Right..." Pietro replied, he felt that what Crystal said was true, he didn't spend much time with Luna for the last few months, maybe he can fix it now, moreover he didn't want Luna to end up in Maximus' care when her parents were both busy.
