Marriage Bargain

The car engine faded as we got to Ronald's house. Ethan turned to face me,his eyes locked onto mine, his gaze holding a depth of emotion that made my heart skip a beat. His hands reached out, wrapping around mine as I reached for the door handle. His palm placed on mine firmly as if I would dissappeae I'd he isn't holding me. 


His eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled, “Thank you,” he said, his voice barely above whisper. "For taking time to go out with me and for giving me another chance." 


Silence followed as the words stayed in the air as Ethan eyes met mine. My heart beat fastened as a sense of vulnerability hit me as I stared at him. We stood there, looking at each other for some moments oblivious to the event going on around us. 


I paused,my lips in a thin smile as I thought about the right words to say but my mind couldn't come up with anything. Instead I offered a small smile, my lips curling upward in a gentle arc. I shook my head in response.
