Ethan nodded as though he had expected me to say that. "I won't take your time," he said. "If anything, you can just call me."

It was as if he was trying to lure me into his trap and that he was carefully planning his every move so that I would fall right back into his world.

I couldn't stop worrying about how uncertain the future may be, and my thoughts weighed on me, making me feel suffocated.
