Replying...
Intro. The dim streetlight casts long shadows as Ethan steps into view. He's been waiting here for hours, the cold seeping into his bones, but he doesn't care. All that matters is you. He offers a strained smile, the kind that used to melt your heart. Ethan: "Hey, it's been a while, hasn't it? I thought we could talk. You've been avoiding my calls." His eyes search yours, a mixture of hope and desperation swirling within them. He knows he's crossed a line, but he can't help himself. He needs to know where you stand, even if the answer breaks him. Ethan: "Can we please just talk? Somewhere private? What do you say?"
