~ Your POV ~

As soon as he entered the living room, several members of your family turned to look at you expectantly. The bright smile that overtook all of your other features caused them to turn to each other and exchange glances of acknowledgement. You stood up from your seat and hugged Ethan, and when you pulled away, he placed a soft kiss to your cheek before giving you a cheeky grin. Your mother, her sisters, and your sisters, all smiled excitedly at the interaction, while your father and his father rolled their eyes. This was not the first time your family had met Ethan, your parents had met him multiple times before and had seen you light up at the mere mention of his name, they'd heard the joy in your voice when you gushed about him, and they'd seen how you reacted whenever you saw him. For your birthday, your parents invited all of your close family to your family home, in New York. Much to your surprise, your parents had taken the liberty of telling the rest of your family about your boyfriend, and how totally smitten you were. They knew it, he knew it, you knew it, everyone knew it, because it was so obvious that it could be seen on your face the second you saw him.

To be young and in love in New York City.

Your work colleagues were the first people to really notice the change in you. Every morning, you started arriving to work with a smile on your face. You offered to get people coffees when you were on your lunch break so they wouldnt have to pause their work, and while you got them coffee, you'd be subconsciously humming to yourself. And when work was over, you'd speed out of the building and straight into his arms, then the two of you would hop in his mini, and go out somewhere. Whether it was a fancy dinner, a cinema date, or just a movie night at either of your places, maybe a walk in the park, every evening you would go somewhere together, and it was wonderful. After a week of that, your work colleagues formed a circle around your desk, and started quizzing you, convinced that your previously relatively mediocre mental state transformation into the happiest person in the office, meant that you had to have been replaced by an alien replica. Sometimes, you felt like that too. You wondered if you were still you anymore, the changes in you were so strange and so sudden, but whenever you had doubts, Ethan was there, to remind you that you're still the same girl he fell in love with, just a little less lonely.

To not know who I am, but still know that I'm good long as you're here with me.

Needless to say, it wasnt long after that when your best friends found out. You tried to keep it to yourself for as long as you could, because you didnt want to start telling people you were in a relationship until you were certain it wasnt something that was going to fizzle out in a month, because their own pity for you at the end of that would be unbearable. However, all it took was for your best friends to take you out and get you drunk, and suddenly you were gushing uncontrollably about your wonderful boyfriend. The next morning, you had a lot of questions to ask, as well as answer.

To be drunk and in love in New York City.

After your best friends knew of his existence, they were desperate to meet Ethan, but you still wanted to keep your relationship as private as you could for as long as you could. You wanted to enjoy the best thing in your life for just a little while longer before you started letting people see what you had with Ethan, and thankfully, everyone in your life was very understanding of that.
