Chapter 117

• Ethan’s POV
• As we stepped out of the shower, the cool morning air hit my damp skin, making me feel both invigorated and relaxed. The sensation was refreshing, like waking up after a long, deep sleep, and I couldn't help but relish in it.
• Emily stood beside me, her towel wrapped securely around her, her soft skin still glistening from the water. Her hair cascaded down her back in damp waves, and she looked effortlessly stunning, as always. I found myself watching her as she walked toward her dresser, the movement fluid, graceful.
