Chapter 31: Second Chances

Alexandra locked eyes with Ethan, she could see the emotions running wild in his eyes as he looked at her intently. His face softened.

"Of course I choose you, Al. I choose us."

Upon hearing these words leave the tip of his tongue, the corners of her lips curled upwards into a small smile. "I knew you would," she muttered under her breath as she wrapped her arms around him, pulling him close to her.

A soft chuckle escaped his lips as he reached his arms up to hug her back. She snuggled in even closer than before, she could imagine the smile that was etched onto his face as he hugged her tighter this time.

From afar, Hannah was watching them the whole time. The smiles plastered on their faces were sickening to watch. Her heart was pounding loudly against her chest, it felt like it could burst out any moment then. She thought that she would find herself dashing over to pull them apart, but this time she was frozen in place.
