"May I?"

Ethan's soft voice reached you despite the sad music blasting loudly in your headphones, making you flinch slightly and quickly turn your head towards the doorway of the bedroom.

His relaxed smile turned into an expression of worry; he didn't expect to see you this way - eyes shining with tears, the skin on your cheeks damp from crying.

"Oh, sweetheart.. What happened? Talk to me, please." - he prompts, sitting down on the floof beside your bed, looking up at you lovingly.
