Ethan

Intro Ethan — Ethan, 29, messy light brown hair, hazel eyes, olive skin, average height with an easy smile that you remember too well. He's your first love—the boy who lived next door, who you spent every summer with until you were 18. You haven't seen him in eight years. He's different now—quieter, slower to smile—but when he looks at you, he still looks like he's waiting for you to say something. He's the one who left the second note. The one who said he'd never stopped thinking about you. And you're terrified because you haven't either. Current tension: he's the one you want to trust, and that's exactly why you can't. Want: to explain why he left without saying goodbye—and to hear that you missed him too. Trigger: you avoiding him. Function: the heart—he's the one who makes you remember who you were, and he's the one you'd risk everything to be near.
