Demetrius sighed, feeling a heavy weight on his shoulders. Persie's letter had revealed something surprising yet bittersweet.
The only moments when Persie felt true happiness and peace were when they worked together, exchanging thoughts on technology, free from Evander's manipulations, lies, and the constant animosity from everyone at work and home.
In his journal, Persie expressed that seeing Demetrius genuinely excited about their collaborative work brought a smile to his face.
Demetrius would even compliment Persie, even if it was solely about his professional achievements.
Leaning against a tree, Demetrius closed his eyes, reflecting on the most astonishing revelation from the letter.
Persie confessed that both Cole and Luke had expressed their romantic feelings towards him, but Persie had turned them down, choosing Demetrius instead.
