"Where's Ethan?" Dad beamed when I walked into the kitchen. He and Pa were cooking a feast for Ethan being discharged from the hospital. They made all his favourites and I was supposed to help with the chocolate cake. All the ingredients had been laid out on the second island by me before I left. I did not want to waste any time when he got back.
He lost a lot of weight and I wanted to plump him back to health. My parents were beaming because of it and I felt almost terrible for having to tell them Ethan decided to stay back. At least if Malia and the children were here all the food would have made sense but they went on a mini trip with Samuel and Nika for the weekend therefore it was just myself and my parents.
I took off my coat and scarf then tried to give them my best smile, "He decided to stay at the townhouse. Belli misses him a lot, he just wants to spend time with her right now."
