I should have said yes.
At that moment, it was the easiest word in the world, just three little letters: Yes. With it, Ethan would be mine forever. Not only would we finally be able to call ourselves a couple, but maybe it could lead to something even more serious; like marriage.
Yes to a second chance. Yes to start over, yes to rekindle what we used to be.
Yet somehow, the words caught in my throat, and I realized it wasn’t as easy as I’d imagined.
Heaven knows I wanted to fix the cracks in our love. I want to heal him from the childhood trauma and reassure him that I, Betty, would always be there for him, through thick and thin. After all, I’d been hurt before and I knew too well how it feels to go through pain alone.
Ethan wasn’t perfect, he was human, and it was just on
