But Ethan simply smiled, his eyes filled with a tenderness that spoke volumes. "You don't have to thank me," he said softly. "I'll always be here for you, no matter what."

And in that moment, as the weight of the world lifted from my shoulders, I knew that I had found my home in Ethan's arms. For in his unwavering love and support, I had found the strength to face the future with courage and determination.
