Chapter 15 - THE MAN WHO STOPPED ASKINGFor years, Ethan had hoped Sophia would return.
He never said it.
But she knew.
Then one day, he stopped hoping.
Not because he stopped loving her.
Because he finally understood that love did not give him ownership of her future.
Sophia noticed.
Ethan no longer looked at her with expectation.
He did not linger after Noah's school events.
He did not send flowers.
He did not create excuses to visit.
He simply became Noah's father.
And somehow, that changed everything.
Sophia had spent years waiting for Ethan to stop trying to win her back.
When he finally did, she realized she missed him.
The discovery frightened her.
She had built her life around being independent.
Around never needing him again.
But missing someone was not the same as trusting them.
And love was not the same as forgetting.

Sophia had learned that lesson once.
She would not forget it again.
