In public, she clung to his arm, kissed his cheek, and called him \u201cmy everything.\u201d Ethan wanted to believe her. What hurt most wasn\u2019t loneliness\u2014it was the fear that no one loved him for who he was, only for what he had.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1106\" data-end=\"1402\">The doubt crept in slowly. Danielle touched him less. Her excuses sounded rehearsed. Her nights out became frequent. Then one afternoon, waiting in the car outside a clinic, fate handed Ethan something he had never dared to look for.

He saw emptiness.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1696\" data-end=\"1816\">That night, he didn\u2019t sleep.

She brought coffee, adjusted his blanket, talked about her daughter back home, her struggles, her fears.
