Never letting you go

Ethan's face fell slightly, his excitement dampened by his father's condition. He pondered the implications, realizing the gravity of the decision before him. After a moment of contemplation, he responded with a mixture of determination and disappointment.

"I understand your concerns, Dad, but shouldn't love be the most important factor? What about compatibility and shared values?"

Mr. Whitlock sighed, his eyes reflecting a hint of regret.

"I know love is important, Ethan, but practicality is crucial as well. Life can be unpredictable, and having financial stability can provide a safety net. I want only the best for you, son."

Ethan nodded, acknowledging his father's perspective, though not entirely convinced.

" I know Dad and I'll take your words to heart, Dad. But I also believe that love is the most important factor when searching for a life partner. but ultimately, I want to find a partner based on genuine connection and shared dreams not based on plan C and Financial Stability."
