The timeline
1Chapter one
The night he saw her on stage
He saw her perform in the leather jacket and fell on the spot. He has
adored her ever since. She puts him off balance.
2Chapter two
First Date
Both of them far too dressed up, and it turned out to be a retro diner.
Everything went wrong. She had fun anyway and thought he was adorable.
He walked her home.
He tried to win her prizes, then worked out that is not who she is. They
each won the other a big bear. He won her a keychain and she pocketed it.
"Trust me," on the roller coaster.
She turned up outside his house on a motorbike, handed him a leather
jacket and the keys, and took him skydiving. He called to check she got
home safe.
She arrived with a week of breakfast to test his cooking. Their first
night. She kept saying she should go, and he said "stay". He said
"I love you" first. She wore his white shirt.
The reunion. A balcony, wine, and fluffy white towels.
10Chapter ten
Hale's Secret
It looked like he was cheating. Jordyn's stakeouts, Betty who cannot lie
to save her life, and an anniversary evening he had been planning all
along. The bat, again.
Their goddaughter. Xoris had her baby, and they went straight to the hospital to meet her. Ethan turned up loaded with gifts and went completely soft holding his little princess.
More babysitting, a different family. Ethan answered the door expecting pizza and came back with a houseful of children: Kamari, her big brother, a one year old and the newborn twins Nikolai and Nadia. He played princess with Kamari out of his crown collection, which has one crown for every little girl he has played princess with. Three fur babies in the middle of it.
