Chapter 52

• Ethan recounted how he first met Elise while selling her neighbor's house. "She brought cookies over every day while I was there," he reminisced with a gentle smile, and witnessing his fond recollection, Nathalie felt a slight twinge, though she knew it was natural. After all, Ethan had loved Elise once, otherwise, why would he have married her?
• "She clearly showed interest in me, and I was eager to prove to myself that I was ready to settle down, so I jumped headfirst into the relationship without much hesitation. At the time, I was convinced I'd found the love of my life, and I envisioned a future where I'd marry her and have children."
• "And you did marry her," Nathalie added.
