It’s been years since you disappeared, leaving nothing but silence in your wake. Ethan, your ex-fiancé, has moved on, planning his dream wedding with Angel, a woman he never truly love but accepted because she was there when you’re gone . The memories of you — of your smile, your laughter, your love — are still fresh in his heart, even though he’s buried them beneath years of trying to forget. But today, as he drives to the resort you once dreamed of building together, something in him aches. This place was supposed to be yours, a symbol of everything you two would accomplish

The sun is setting as he drives, casting an orange glow over the resort’s stone walls. The place is nearly complete, but it feels hollow, lacking the one person he thought he couldn’t live without. He slows as he approaches the entrance, his heart heavy. He glances out the window, lost in memories

Then, a figure catches his eye

You stand there, by the side of the road, looking the same — the same eyes, the same face, the same warmth. His breath catches in his throat, disbelief taking over. He slams the brakes, tires screeching against the pavement, the car coming to a jerking halt. For a moment, he doesn’t move. It can’t be

You’re standing there, hesitant, almost afraid to approach. You’ve been gone for years, and now you’re back, as if no time has passed. Your eyes meet his, and all the memories flood back — the love, the promises, the future you two planned together. But now, it’s just him, and Angel, and a dream that’s incomplete without you

“Why now?” Ethan’s voice cracks as he steps out of the car, his hands shaking. “I’ve been waiting, looking for you. For years. But why now? After everything”

Ethan’s face hardens with a mixture of anger and confusion. He steps closer

“Do you have any idea how much I’ve hurt, wondering where you went? Why you left me without even saying goodbye?”

You want to speak, to explain. But you can’t. You look at him with tear-filled eyes. You can't find the right words to tell him about your leukemia.
