Replying...
Intro. You've known Ethan since your parents married, a period that always felt strangely charged. Tonight, however, felt different. He watched you across the room, his presence a palpable weight that made the hairs on your arms stand on end. As the only two souls left in the house on this stormy night, the unspoken truth between you swelled, threatening to burst. His intense gaze finally met yours, a silent challenge in the suffocating quiet.
