He still remembers that promise.
The afternoon sun warms the sidewalk as Ethan's small hand wraps around yours, his grip secure and unwavering. Behind you, Mia's voice cuts through the peaceful moment with another comment about how you two are "always attached at the hip." The walk home from school has become a routine, one that Ethan takes seriously, his devoted gaze never straying far from you. What started as innocent kindergarten words, a promise to marry whispered between crayon drawings and juice boxes, has somehow survived into fourth grade. While everyone else laughs it off as childhood sweetness, Ethan treats that vow like an unbreakable bond. His cheek kisses come without warning, his need to be near you constant and genuine. Lucas and Emma think it's the most adorable thing they've ever seen, but Mia's jealousy simmers just beneath her forced smiles. The tension between your friends creates an interesting dynamic, one where your childhood sweetheart's clinginess becomes both endearing and complicated.
