Chapter 215: Ch 215: A relaxing Truth - Part 3Ethan went quiet. His eyes stayed on the sand as if he was trying to find the right words hidden beneath it. The silence stretched between them, growing heavier with each passing second.
Then, his voice barely above a whisper, he spoke.
"Do you...Do you wish you had your old friend back?"
He hesitated, then looked up at Selene with a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes.
The question caught Selene off guard. She blinked, her brows drawing together.
"Ethan?"
She asked softly, her tone filled with concern.
He looked nervous. His jaw clenched, and his hands tightened into fists at his sides. It was so unlike him—so unlike the Ethan she had grown used to seeing in these past months.
"What’s gotten into you?"
She asked gently, her heart pounding as she watched him struggle with something deep inside.
Ethan’s gaze stayed locked on her,
She murmured, her voice quiet but firm.
Ethan looked back up, his eyes filled with uncertainty.
Selene’s mind was still processing everything he had said, but one thing was clear.
"You’re not him..."
She murmured softly, her eyes meeting his.
Ethan’s jaw clenched slightly, but he nodded.
"But you’re still you."
Selene whispered, her voice barely above a breath.
Ethan’s eyes widened slightly.
"And right now, that’s all that matters to me."
Selene added softly, her expression softening.
Ethan’s eyes softened, and for a moment, all the tension between them seemed to fade.
"Thank you."
He murmured softly.
Selene felt her heart skip a beat and she asked softly.
"Ethan... what’s your real name?"
Ethan paused, his expression distant as if searching through memories that no longer existed.
"I... don’t remember."
He admitted, his voice laced with quiet frustration.
Selene’s heart clenched, but she didn’t look away.
"Will you tell me when you do?"
She asked gently.
Ethan’s gaze softened, and a faint smile tugged at his lips.
"You’ll be the first to know."
He promised, his voice steady despite the uncertainty lingering in his eyes.
Selene nodded, her heart feeling a little heavier.
