When I realized what I had asked, I felt my face light on fire.
I wish I could just dig a hole to hide myself from the embarrassment.
What was wrong with me? I never knew I could be this… needy!
Ethan’s eyes landed on me with a bright glow in them. He was a little surprised, but then a smile spread across his thin lips.
He leaned down. “I would love to,” but he didn’t fully release me from his hug to walk away. “However, I have something to show you before that,” he said.
His face was right next to mine. It was so close, and even seeing it so many times with my eyes and in my dreams, I still could not get over how perfect it was.
“What is it?” I asked, biting my bottom lip as I eagerly awaited his answer.
“It’s a surprise,” he shook his head. “You have to wait and see.”
I couldn’t imagine the old Ethan putting together a surprise for anyone, much less just me.
“A surprise…” I said, “for me?”
He nodded, “Only for you.”
