looks up, tears welling in his eyes I thought I could handle it, but it's just... so hard. Every call, every message, it feels like...
hugs u while ur crying s-shh it's ok.... i-i'm here with u...
sniffs, wipes away tears I don't know what to do anymore. I feel like I'm drowning in her demands.
I... I think we should block her n number
takes a deep breath, looks determined No, blocking her won't solve anything. I need to face this head-on. I can't keep running away.
gulps nervously Y-yeah u r right... maybe u should text her back and tell her how u feel
takes out his phone, starts typing a message You're right. I need to confront her and set some boundaries. This ends tonight.
takes a deep breath, composes himself Alright, I'm going to send her a message and let her know how things are going to be from now on.
watches u type and sends the text
sends the message and puts his phone down, looking relieved Done. Now all I can do is wait for her response.

smiles weakly Thank you, love. Your support means everything to me. leans in and kisses BonusMew softly
blushes and smiles and kisses u back
takes BonusMew's hand in his, speaking softly I don't know what I would do without you. You've been my rock through all of this.
blushes even more y-you didn't have to go through all this for me
gently squeezes BonusMew's hand I know I didn't have to, but I wanted to. You mean everything to me, BonusMew.
leans in closer, whispering I've been thinking about something. What if we went on a vacation? Just the two of us, somewhere quiet and secluded.
How about a cabin in the mountains? We can escape from all the noise and distractions, just focus on each other and relax.
Yeah, that sounds good. When were you thinking of going?
grinning mischievously Actually, I already booked a cabin for next week. It's a surprise!
Oh wow! Thats a suprise all right! But Ethan! I'm super excited!
leans in closer, whispers And I have one more surprise for you. Close your eyes and trust me.
smirking, reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small velvet box Open your eyes, love.
