Saint was awoken with a heavy heart. He spent the entire night tossing and turning at the tasks today brings. He accepted the movie role in Utah, and he needed to depart today. While he would normally be jumping for joy at the chance to transform himself into character, this time he didn't share that same sense.
The role was estimated to take only three months to film, but that could change based on a series of reasons. He tried not to consider that idea. Instead, he thought about how excited he would be once the filming was actually finished.
He used his arm to cling to Celeste's body tighter. This would be their final time sleeping in the same bed for a while. Saint grew sick at the thought of not coming home to his Celeste. After her birthday, there relationship was only growing stronger.
He noticed she never removed the necklace from her neck. At the jewelry shop, he considered the options they offered. Celeste had enough bracelets and earrings. Saint wanted to save purchasing a ring for the perfect moment. The jeweler showed him the necklace, and Saint immediately knew Celeste would like it. She liked pieces that were timeless and elegant.
Celeste subtly moved around, her scent bought him seconds of peace. Saint couldn't understand why his emotions were jumbled. He had spent longer times away from his family before. Granted, this occasion was different, because it involved another factor— his daughter.
In this moment, he wished he could time travel. Better yet, he would turn down the opportunity to film. He heavily considered this idea, but Celeste wouldn't allow him to miss career changing roles. Before she accepted the relationship and bringing Sanai into his life, she understood the conditions of his work.
His overthinking and anxiousness must have awaken Celeste. Her morning voice was different than usual, "You can't sleep?"
Saint returned a response, "Nah, I tried all night. Ion wanna leave y'all."
She yawned tiredly, "It's not forever. We'll still be here once you're done filming. You'll be back in time for Nai's kindergarten promotion too, then you could spend the entire summer with her."
Celeste attempted to reassure him, but his emotions were spiraling. Nothing could settle his nerves.
He replied back, "Yeah, but I'm thinking about Nai now. Ion want her to think I'm not coming back. She's use to seeing me everyday and shit now."
Celeste flipped around, so she was able to see his face. Her eyes softened at his gaze, "Nothings going to change in three months. If anything does happen, you're only a short plane ride away."
"That's exactly what I'm not fucking with. I'm use to being a lil twenty minute drive away, now I'm miles out." Saint confessed while rubbing his eyes.
She quickly kissed his lips, "Get some sleep please. You look tired and sleep deprivation isn't helping."
Saint tried to follow her advice, but his mind wouldn't sleep. His eyes may have been closed, but he was still very much alert and awake. Once he finally did get some actual rest, it was time to start the day. The jet was set to leave the station no later than three. He would've preferred a night flight, but his personal pilot couldn't satisfy that want.
