We were passing by the same street corner where we had been hiding.
Ethan looked out the window.
—Do you remember that day?
—Yes, I replied.
—I was very scared.
-Me too.
He remained silent for a few seconds.
—But not anymore.
I smiled.
-Me neither.
There was something strange about all of this.
The moment I thought would destroy my life was the very one that redirected it.
I went back to my studies.
I accepted a job that I had refused years before because I was "putting my family first".
I discovered that I could provide for myself.
I discovered that stability did not depend on a perfect marriage.
Ethan grew up knowing that the truth matters.
This love shouldn't hurt in secret.
