I hesitated slightly. Alas, I stood up slowly and allowed myself to be led by Ethan to a bench nearby.

As we sat, I stuttered, "I-I... I don't know where to start."

My voice was very feeble. The night wind seemed to have taken away half of my courage.

"All of these are just too complicated and too much of a mess. I'm starting to doubt if I could even start to untangle this ball of yarn to reveal the truth."

Ethan sat quietly beside me. He didn't rush to interrupt me. He just comforted me silently with his deep, sensual eyes.

"Sometimes, the truth is like a lighthouse in the fog. It might be far away and blurry, but as long as we have the courage and determination, we could eventually make our way toward it, one step at a time."
