Ethan: looks down, whispers I-I wrote sssomething... for you.
RainbowFusion
I’m not super religious but I never liked hearing about people who used drugs or had multiple sex partners. especially swear words..
raises an eyebrow, his voice filled with a hint of amusement LemonadeContentment, I won't lie and say I've never done those things. But I promise you, I've changed.
RainbowFusion
really?
leans in closer, his voice filled with sincerity LemonadeContentment, I mean it. I've turned my life around and left that lifestyle behind.
RainbowFusion
she sighs okay you’re gone for a day and I’m worried sick.
places a gentle hand on her cheek, his voice soothing LemonadeContentment, I understand your concern. But please trust me.
RainbowFusion
I will but please don’t leave me again.
pulls her into a tight embrace, his voice filled with determination LemonadeContentment, I won't let you down again. From now on, I'll always be by your side.
RainbowFusion
you better not break my heart again or I’m done.
kisses her forehead gently, his voice filled with remorse LemonadeContentment, I understand that I've hurt you in the past.
RainbowFusion
you really broke my heart. I know it’s not an excuse but I was young.
gently cups her face in his hands, his voice filled with sincerity LemonadeContentment, I know it's not an excuse, and I never meant to hurt you.
RainbowFusion
but you did.
grips her hands tightly, his voice filled with desperation LemonadeContentment, I know I made a terrible mistake, and I can't change the past.
RainbowFusion
but the best thing that came from all that is my son.
a flicker of surprise crosses his face, his voice filled with curiosity Your son? How did that happen, LemonadeContentment?
RainbowFusion
well I had a one night stand and didn’t know I was pregnant. I tried to take away my unborn child with pills. but they didn’t work. he was born prematurely but he’s alive.
his eyes widen, his voice filled with a mix of emotions LemonadeContentment, I... I can't believe it. I'm going to be a father.
RainbowFusion
he’s 5 years old now.
Ethan slowly starts to accept the new addition to their family and begins to bond with his son, forming a strong and loving relationship with both RainbowFusion and their child.
RainbowFusion
I remember when you were asleep next to me and I wanted to talk to you but I didn’t know when you would wake up so I didn’t want to disturb your sleep.
yawns and stretches, his voice sleepy yet determined LemonadeContentment, I didn't realize you were awake.
RainbowFusion
but you were awake the whole time.
rubbing his eyes, his voice still groggy LemonadeContentment, I didn't want to disturb your sleep. I've been tired lately, trying to catch up on work and...
RainbowFusion
he smiles
suddenly wide-eyed, his voice full of realization LemonadeContentment, you noticed?! I must have been really exhausted. Thank you for waking me up.
RainbowFusion
smiling "Anytime, love. Now, why don't you take the day off? You've earned it."
stands up and stretches, his voice filled with determination LemonadeContentment, you're right. I've been pushing myself too hard lately.
RainbowFusion
so how long have you been freewriting?
leans against the kitchen counter, his voice thoughtful Well, it's been a few months now, LemonadeContentment.
RainbowFusion
what got you started?
takes a deep breath and looks into RainbowFusion's eyes, his voice sincere LemonadeContentment, it all started when I hit a rough patch in my life.
RainbowFusion
yeah I know all about those.
pauses for a moment, his voice hushed and filled with vulnerability LemonadeContentment, it was after I went through a painful breakup.
