Throughout the day, Peter immersed himself in work, attempting to distract himself from his personal turmoil. He reached out to his wife and daughter, but his calls went unanswered, deepening his sense of isolation. He started to comprehend the bleakness of a life without their presence and was determined to reconcile with them.
Meanwhile, Eloise and her mother busied themselves with wedding preparations. After a heartfelt discussion with Kevin, they decided to finance the wedding themselves, even though her mom thought it was unnecessary. Eloise didn’t want to use her dad’s money. They both got part-time jobs and started saving for a small wedding, just something simple with their closest friends. They wondered, though, if their families, especially Eloise’s dad, would come to celebrate with them.
