"But, Allison, if he treated you poorly on your first date, shouldn't that be a red flag?"Allison sighed softly, her eyes searching for the right words. "I understand your concern, Dad.

Ethan's face fell slightly, his excitement dampened by his father's condition. He pondered the implications, realizing the gravity of the decision before him.

What about compatibility and shared values?"Mr. Whitlock sighed, his eyes reflecting a hint of regret."I know love is important, Ethan, but practicality is crucial as well. Life can be unpredictable, and having financial stability can provide a safety net. I want only the best for you, son."Ethan nodded, acknowledging his father's perspective, though not entirely convinced. " I know Dad and I'll take your words to heart, Dad.

"I'll take the time to understand her, and hopefully, she'll become my wife someday."Ryan's jaw dropped in disbelief upon hearing Ethan's decision. "Are you out of your mind, Ethan? Did Camila give you some kind of drugs or something?" Ryan blurted out, his concern evident in his voice.Ethan chuckled at his friend's reaction, realizing how incredulous the situation must have sounded. "No, Ryan, she didn't drug me," he replied, shaking his head. "It's just a strong connection I felt with her. I can't explain it, but there's something special about her."Ryan's eyebrows furrowed as he struggled to comprehend Ethan's perspective. "But, E
