Shattered Hearts

♡⁠(⁠Ӧ⁠ｖ⁠Ӧ⁠｡⁠)

Ethan brushed a strand of hair away from my face, his touch sending shivers down my spine. "That's because you are the most important person in the world to me, Lizz," he murmured, his gaze never leaving mine. "I would do anything to make you happy, to see that smile light up your face every single day."

Tears welled in my eyes as I looked up at him, overwhelmed by the depth of his love and devotion. "And I would do the same for you, Ethan," I whispered, my voice choked with emotion. "You mean everything to me, more than I could ever put into words."

Lost in the enchanting beauty of Rome, Ethan and I found ourselves wandering through the cobblestone streets, hand in hand, immersed in a world of timeless romance.

As we strolled along the banks of the Tiber River, the soft breeze carrying the scent of jasmine and roses, Ethan pulled me into his embrace, his arms enveloping me in a cocoon of warmth and love.

"Lizz," he whispered, his voice a tender caress against my ear, "being here with you feels like a dream come true."

I leaned into his embrace, my heart swelling with joy at his words. "I feel the same way, Ethan," I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper. "Being here with you, in this beautiful city, it's like stepping into a fairytale."

Ethan brushed his lips against mine, a soft sigh escaping him as he drank in the sweetness of our kiss. "I never want this moment to end," he confessed, his eyes filled with an intensity that took my breath away. "I want to savor every second we have together, every heartbeat that brings us closer."

With a smile, I traced a finger along his jawline, marveling at the depth of our connection. "Me too, Ethan," I whispered, my voice filled with love and longing. "I want to explore every corner of this city with you, to create memories that will last a lifetime."

As the moon rose high in the sky, casting a silvery glow over the ancient ruins that surrounded us, Ethan took my hand in his, leading me to a secluded spot overlooking the city.

And as we stood there, gazing out at the breathtaking panorama spread out before us, I knew that this moment would be etched in my heart forever – a testament to the power of love to conquer all obstacles, to transcend time and space, and to create a bond that would endure for eternity.

Just as Ethan and I were lost in the magic of the moment, a sudden commotion shattered the tranquility of the night. From out of nowhere, a young woman came hurtling towards us, her path colliding with Ethan's in a jarring collision.

Startled, Ethan stumbled backward, his arms instinctively wrapping around me to shield me from the unexpected impact.
The woman staggered, her eyes wide with panic as she doesn't looked up at Ethan.

"I'm so sorry," she gasped, her voice trembling with emotion. "I didn't see you, I was just trying to get away..."

As Ethan saw her. He steadied her with a gentle hand, his eyes widening in recognition as he took in her features.

"Bella?" Ethan's voice held a mixture of surprise and warmth as he spoke her name.

She looked up at him, her eyes widening in disbelief. "Ethan, I can't believe it's really you," she exclaimed, a smile spreading across her face.
