Ethan: Gasping for breath, clutching our kid Babe... that was... too close. You okay?
I run over to grab the baby as soon as he gets him out of the water and onto dry sand
breathless I... I thought I lost them, babe. leans on the sand, catching his breath
coughs, wiping sweat from his forehead Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Just... Just caught my breath. stands up, looking at Partmajo with relief
Come here…let me help you…my poor baby you’re exhausted
collapses into Partmajo's arms, trembling Th-thank you... thank you for being here... tears well up in his eyes
Oh baby don’t cry…its ok…the baby is safe…come on let’s get you sitting down so you can rest while I take care of this little guy
takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself I... I appreciate it, babe. looks at the baby in Partmajo's arms Is...
He’s safe now…he got too tired to swim to shore so I’ve been waiting for you to bring him back
wipes away his tears and stands up straight Yeah, we got lucky today. rubs his hands together Alright, let's get this little dude warmed up.
Ok..here let me take off his wet clothes so I can warm him up..you go sit down
nods Thanks, babe. I could use a break. walks over to a nearby beach chair and sits down, watching Partmajo tend to the baby
she unwraps the baby and starts to dry him off as she removes his wet clothes
rests his head back, closing his eyes Damn, that was intense. opens his eyes and looks at Partmajo You know, babe, I can't believe...
That you did that? I can believe it..you were amazing…
smiles weakly Thanks, babe. But it's not like I had a choice. I couldn't just stand there and watch our kid drown.
Yeah…I’m glad you didn’t…I don’t know what I would’ve done if I lost him…he’s all I have left of you..I-I can’t lose him
leans forward, placing a hand on Partmajo's shoulder Hey, hey, don't say it like that. We're a team, right? We've got each other's backs.
pauses for a moment, gathering his thoughts You know, babe, sometimes I feel like I'm drowning in my own responsibilities.
I get it…sometimes it feels like too much…but we can handle it…as long as we stick together
Ethan opens up to Partmajo about his struggles with guilt and self-doubt, finding comfort and support in her presence.
lays down on the beach and brings the baby to chest, cradling him I sing to him softly
crawls closer to Partmajo, resting his head on her shoulder You know, babe, when I'm feeling overwhelmed, I find solace in music.
Music? Yeah…our wedding song was a beautiful melody…
smiles nostalgically Yeah, that song was perfect for us. It captured the essence of our love.
softly Hey, maybe we could recreate that moment. You know, right here on this beach. What do you say?
Right now? I mean…does that sound good to you?
sits up, determination in his eyes Yeah, babe. I think it'd be a beautiful way to remind ourselves of the love we share. Plus, who says no to a spontaneous serenade on a serene beach?
