After that night, the way I acted around him gradually changed without me even noticing.
Whenever we were together, my voice carried an unconscious softness, almost spoiled at times.
And Ethan indulged me completely.
He always looked at me with that helplessly affectionate gaze, as though he could never refuse me anything.
We started doing all the things ordinary couples did.
He took me to the movies, where we'd sit hidden in the dark corners of the theater, kissing freely while the film played unnoticed in front of us.
We rode the Ferris wheel together and believed in those old romantic legends. At the highest point, we held each other tightly and kissed like nothing else in the world mattered, unable to let go.
Every time I saw the smile on his face, my heart softened completely.
