Chapter 6: Embracing the Shift
The days that followed felt like a dream, as Ethan and Ryan’s connection blossomed into something more than either of them had anticipated. No longer did they simply study together; they began to spend more time in each other's company outside the confines of the classroom. They wandered through parks, sat by the lake, and found solace in quiet conversations long into the night.
One evening, as they sat on a park bench, watching the golden hues of sunset stain the sky, Ryan turned to Ethan with a question in his eyes.
"Do you think we’re making a mistake?" Ryan asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Ethan, unsure of how to answer, simply responded with a soft honesty, "I don’t know. But maybe some mistakes are worth making."
Ryan’s smile was warm, reassuring. "Then let’s make them together."
And so, in that moment, everything seemed to fall into place.
