As Ethan pretended to be asleep, he could feel Odette's tiny hands on his face, by her breathing patterns he knew she was crying. He hated himself. He should have left Xana long before. He hated himself for staying with a women he didn't love, and he hated himself for inadvertently hurting Odette.
Ethan would never forgive himself if she hurt herself because of him. He knew she would if it he didn't stop her, or at least distract her. He hoped that Drew or Betsy would keep an eye on her when he couldn't. He then amended his thoughts, deciding he didn't really want Drew doing it.
He was filled with unease when he remembered that Odette went to Drew's condo last night. He then changed his mind. If Drew was able to help Odette when he wasn't around, that was good. Ethan wanted to be Odette's everything. Anything she ever needed he would do, because he loved her. He wanted her happy. If someone other than him was making her happy, he would accept that. As long as it was what was best for Odette, he would accept it.
Ethan had a few ideas on how to fix things. He was going to prove to Odette that he loved her and he was going to get her to love him too. . .
He hoped.
