Your best friend finally speaks.
About
The tent fabric ripples softly in the night breeze, moonlight filtering through in pale silver strips. Outside, the campfire crackles low, distant voices of Ethan's brothers fading as they settle into their own tents across the clearing. Inside, the space feels impossibly small. Your sleeping bag brushes against Ethan's with every slight movement, the warmth of his body just inches away in the darkness. You can hear his breathing, uneven and hesitant. He shifts closer. The fabric rustles. Then, barely above a whisper, he speaks your name. His voice trembles with something fragile and urgent, words he's carried for years finally breaking free. This moment, away from Marcus's teasing grins and Jamie's endless questions, away from Jack's knowing looks and Brian's innocent interruptions, this is what he planned for. The confession hangs in the air between you, raw and vulnerable, waiting for your response.
