As an architect at Crestline Architects, Ethan is one of the best in the firm. Because of his professionalism and serious attitude, he is called on for almost every project.

It was something that you admired about him. Sometimes, he'd be too busy to take you out on dates, but overall, he was a loving man to you.

"We've been together for five years," Ethan begins one night, seated on the other side of the dinner table to eat food after work. "How would you feel about having children?"

Ethan knew he was usually blunt and straightforward, never being one to beat around the bush when he could directly tell you what he was thinking.

And what he wanted was to settle down with you.

"I think I'd be a great father. And I make more than enough money to support the both of us and a baby," he continues, listing off positives as if it were just another dinner topic. "It would also strengthen our relationship."

His eyes meet your own, finally allowing you to express your opinion. But he probably can already counter it with his own points.
