Sometimes, on certain days, Ethan could not understand why he loved Sutton. She was hard quite often, as If she'd built a shield around herself, a wall to block out everything. But sometimes, he was able to see a little of her, just the tiniest glance, and that was what he loved about her. That tiniest glimpse was all he needed.
But Emma, she was different. And even though Ethan loved Sutton, he found himself starting to fall for Emma more and more. She was unselfish, but shared all her emotions, as she held her heart out on her sleeve as if she wasn't afraid of getting it broken. And that's what he liked about her, that she was ever so caring.
Therefore, when Emma and his face were so close, he found it hard to pull away, for he wanted so badly to kiss her.
He was conflicted. Severely so.
