I met Ethan at our usual café, the one where we'd shared countless moments, each one more memorable than the last. His presence was like a balm, soothing all the chaos in my mind, and right now, I needed him more than ever.
"So," I said, leaning in slightly, my eyes glinting with curiosity, "What school are you going to?"
Ethan flashed a mischievous smile, his eyes lighting up with that spark I loved. "You're looking at the business mogul of the century," he said, his voice teasing, as he waggled his eyebrows. "I'm headed to Macmillan University. They accepted me into their business and information systems program."
I chuckled, shaking my head. "Business mogul, huh? Looks like I'm dating a CEO of the century."
Ethan leaned back with a smirk, clearly enjoying the teasing. "And what about you, Princess? You planning on sticking around and living the Alcove life forever?"
