ETHAN

I noticed it on the plane.

The way Sofia was sitting—too still, too quiet.

Sofia was always composed, but this was different. Heavier. Like something was pulling her down from the inside.

I looked at her once.

Then looked away.

I told myself it was because of last night.

The kiss.

What I had said.

The way she had grabbed her bag and walked away with tears she was trying not to show. The way the door had closed behind her with a quietness that somehow felt louder than a slam.

She was upset

I gathered the remaining files and placed them neatly in the folder before turning towards him."Everything is ready, sir," I said.Ethan glanced through the documents one last time before closing his laptop."All right. Let's go downstairs."I nodded, and we both headed towards the door.As we walked down the staircase, we suddenly heard voices coming from the living room.It was Sofia and Claire.We slowed down when we heard Claire mention something about a proposal."How would you want your man to propose to you?"

    Sandra's POVIt been days since Sofia and Ethan's celebration. Everyone had returned to their usual routines, and I was finally back at my house—well, Sofia's house now.I was sitting comfortably in my room, enjoying the quiet morning, when I heard a knock on the door."Come in," I called.The door opened, and Mrs. Richard stepped inside."Oh, sweetie. Did I wake you up?"I turned towards her with a smile. "No, Mom. I was already awake before you knocked."She raised her eyebrows in surprise."That's unusual."I burst into laughter. "Mom, stop!""Okay, okay. Baby is fine," she said, laughing as she walked towards me.She sat beside me and gently brushed my hair away from my face.I smiled at her. I was still getting used to calling her Mom, but somehow, it felt natural. Despite everything that had happened, she had never made me feel like an outsider."Well, we're stopping at your parents' place, and I want you to come along. What do you think?"My smile slowly faded."I don't want t

    The next morning, Sofia slowly opened her eyes. She stretched her hand towards the other side of the bed, expecting to feel Ethan beside her, but her hand met nothing except the empty bedsheet. She immediately turned her head. "Ethan?" There was no response. She sat up, looking around the bedroom. His side of the bed was empty, and he was nowhere to be seen. At first, she thought he might have gone to the bathroom. But when she noticed that the bathroom door was open and the light was off, a strange feeling settled in her chest. Then she remembered. The hospital. The doctor's words. Ethan's brain tumour. Only a few months left. Her eyes immediately filled with tears. "No..." She quickly threw the bedsheet aside and got out of bed. She hadn't even remembered that she was still wearing her pyjamas. Her hair was scattered, and she hadn't bothered to check her appearance. All she could think about was Ethan. What if something had happened to him? What if he had suddenly

    The dining room suddenly became quiet after Ethan's grandfather mentioned marriage. Sofia lowered her eyes, feeling everyone's attention on her. She wasn't expecting the conversation to take that direction, especially not after everything that had happened over the past few weeks. Ethan, on the other hand, couldn't hide the smile forming on his face. "Grandfather, you certainly know how to surprise people," he said. His grandfather chuckled. "Surprise? What is surprising about what I just said? You two have been through so much together. I think it's time you stopped giving everyone reasons to wonder when you're finally going to get married." Daniel laughed, while Tara covered her mouth to hide her smile. "Grandfather is right," Daniel added. "We've been waiting long enough." Ethan glanced at him. "Since when did you become so interested in my marriage?" "Since I realised that you might never make a decision without someone reminding you," Daniel replied. Everyone burst int

    Sofia slowly opened her eyes, blinking several times as she tried to adjust to the brightness of the room.For a moment, she couldn't understand where she was. Her head felt heavy, and she noticed a drip connected to her hand. She looked around the room, only to find Claire and Brandon sitting beside her hospital bed."Claire?" she called weakly.Claire immediately looked up."You're awake!"She quickly moved closer, holding Sofia's hand.Sofia looked between her and Brandon, confusion written all over her face."What happened? Why am I here?"Claire's expression softened. She gently stroked Sofia's hair before pulling her into a careful hug."Everything will be okay, sweetheart. Don't worry."Sofia slowly pulled away."What do you mean? What happened to me? Where am I? And where is Ethan?""Please, calm down first," Claire said.But Sofia was becoming increasingly restless."I want to see Ethan. Where is he?"Just then, Mrs. Richard walked into the room. She approached the bed, her f
