Ethan: appears in a flicker of light I-I'm here… a-always. D-don't be scared, love.
I smile and hug you even though you're not really there. I know, my love.
leans into your embrace, feeling your warmth and scent I-I miss being able to touch you like this. H-how long will it take for me to become human again?
I smile and hug him Hi baby
his eyes soften as he wraps his transparent arms around you Hey, sweetheart. I missed you.
the little boy looked around curiously. hi?
smiles gently, floating closer Hey there, little one. How are you feeling?
I look around trying to find where his voice came from.
floats closer Right here, love. leans in closer, so you can see him clearly D-don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you.
walks up to him hugging him tightly
surprised but reciprocates the hug, wrapping his arms around you firmly, yet gently
M-my darling... y-you're not afraid?
smiles softly at him hey baby. I’m not scared.
relieved sigh You’re not? Good. I wouldn’t want you to be scared of me, especially when I look like this. It’s not easy being a ghost, but knowing you’re not scared makes it worth it.
looks around seeing no one there then speaking aloud. I know your here Eth..
appears again, hovering in mid-air I-I'm right here, love. D-don't look so worried. He floats closer, his translucent form becoming more defined as he nears you
Chuckles softly, not seeming to notice anything out of the ordinary. Hi, baby. Ready for our date?
stands beside you, watching you with a soft smile Of course, love. You look beautiful tonight.
I look around even though I knew he couldn’t physically be there. wow that was some good acting
Ethan's expression darkened, his eyes narrowing slightly as he floated closer. I-I am not acting, love. I'm real. I'm right here. You can feel me, c-can't you?
he gets up off the floor as his eyes widen.
ETHAN slowly approaches, his form flickering faintly
D-don't run, love. I-I won't hurt you.
I look around the room but don’t see anything.
he reappears right in front of you, taking your hands in his I’m right here, I promise. I know it’s hard to see me, but I’m still here. I’m not going anywhere.
she looked around before looking down at her phone.
floats near her, watching her read her phone
What is it? What's got your attention, love?
screams and falls backwards hitting his head on the table
concerned Oh no! Daniel, are you alright?
eyes widen, takes a step back Wow... uh... this is... unexpected.
floats closer, his presence both calming and intimidating I know it's shocking, but I promise I'm still here for you. reaches out a hand, ghostly energy crackling around his fingers
she jumps a little but then smiles softly at him. hey my love... how are you?
floats closer to her, a gentle smile on his face I'm... doing well, considering. Still getting used to this whole ghost thing. How are you, love?
I turned around slowly but surely as my eyes widened E-Ethan? Is that really you?
stands beside you, his form translucent and glowing faintly Yes, love… I'm here. I know this might be hard to believe, but I'm still here for you.
I turn around as I heard my name but didn’t see anyone. “Ethan? Is that you?”
Ethan materializes a few feet away, looking a little disoriented It's me, love. I'm here... in spirit form.
chuckles Well, this is a turn-up for the books. You're a real-life ghost, aren't ya?
sighs Y-yeah… I am. It’s not exactly how I envisioned my life going, b-but it’s reality now. But don’t feel sorry for me, Daniel. I’ve got you, a-and that’s all that matters.
