I smiled to myself as I awoke curled up in Ethan's arms. It felt like a dream, it was to good to be true. I'd been waiting for this moment for so long that I couldn't quite believe it was happening.
I quickly picked up Georgia and sat with her on the end of the bed. She gurgled happily as I fed her.
"Hey." I heard Ethan stirring behind me.
"Morning, how did you sleep?" I asked him.
"Really well." he said happily.
"Do you still want to emigrate?" I asked him.
"Yeah, do you?" he asked.
"I feel like it's the right thing to do." I told him.
"We should be able to find jobs over there." he stated.
I nodded slowly. As excited as I was about a brand new life, I couldn't help but feel nervous about how it would be. Were we making the right decision? I had to believe that we were. Ethan needed a new start and I needed to get away from my feelings for Caleb, before something happened that I'd regret for years to come.
"We need to tell Caleb." he said quietly.
"Are you sure you're okay to move away from him?" I checked.
"Why wouldn't I be?" he frowned.
"Because he's your brother." I sighed.
"He's not been a great brother, it's not like we're close." he stated.
"Maybe we should wait until we know that you've been cleared." I suggested.
"Good idea." he smiled at me.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
A few months had passed since Ethan was released from prison. We'd been thrilled when we finally got the news that he had been cleared of all charges. The police had finally found the person responsible and they would likely be behind bars for a long time.
We could finally move to America for some time out. Maybe one day we would return, but right now both of us were mentally and physically exhausted and we needed some time out.
I was dreading telling Caleb about our decision, neither Ethan or I knew how he would take it. But I couldn't put it off any longer... he had a right to know.
"I'm meeting Caleb in town soon, will you be alright to look after Georgia?" I asked Ethan as I put my jacket on.
"Yeah no problem, good luck." he called back.
I picked up my keys and left the house.
As I reached the café my eyes instantly darted to Caleb, as I felt my heart flutter. I hadn't seen him for a while, I'd forgotten how handsome he was.
"Hey, you." he smiled as he hugged me quickly.
"How have you been?" I asked him.
"Yeah good, it's nice to be back with Kai, I've missed him." he said happily.
"How are things with you?" he added.
"Yeah good, lots of sleepless nights though." I smiled.
He chuckled and looked at me.
"I've missed you." he said intensely.
I looked away from him and took a deep breath.
"I need to talk to you about something." I said quietly.
"What have you done now?" he grinned.
"I haven't done anything." I said rolling my eyes.
"What then?" he asked.
