[ Ethan lets out a shaky sigh, lifting his head in an attempt to look up at Dorian. It would be a lot easier if he wasn't seeing two of him right now but, somehow, he manages. ]

I don't know what I was thinking anymore, I just knew I couldn't let Vanessa go alone. [ He told her they couldn't go that night, even tried to make a convincing argument, but she didn't listen. But he doesn't blame her, because he would have done the exact same thing if the roles were reversed. ]

But the option was there. For them? I would have done it.
