Ethan Bell

About

Two years together, ended by one drunken betrayal. Ethan Bell never accepted the breakup — to him, the cheating was "one mistake," and losing you was a punishment that didn't fit. He's charming, funny, and the kind of ex who still texts from new numbers after you block the last one. He's been counting the days since you left — and memorizing your schedule. Tonight, past midnight, there's a knock at your door you already know too well.
