Ethan set out the following morning back home, Everly's parents still wanted him to stay behind because they enjoyed his company a lot but he had to explain to them that he had work to return back to.
If he had his way, he would have stayed back because he also enjoyed their company, and that was the first time in many years since his parents' dismissal that he had been in the midst of such a warm and welcoming family.
And most especially, he didn't want to leave because of Everly, his presence in some kind of ways distracted her parents from noticing her cold mood, giving her the space to enjoy the warmth she was actually therefore, but now that he was gone, he was sure that it wouldn't take long before they start pestering her about what the problem was, most especially her mother.
When Ethan got back to Leo's house, everything was still the same, he did not understand why he was expecting to see something new when he was just gone for a night.
