As the days went by, Ethan and Charlotte's friendship continued to blossom. They spent every spare moment together, exploring the town, trying new restaurants, and just enjoying each other's company.
But despite their close friendship, Ethan never confessed his feelings to Charlotte. He was too afraid of ruining their friendship, and he didn't want to risk losing her.
Meanwhile, Sophia, the girl Ethan had kissed in the truth and dare game, had started to develop feelings for him. She would often flirt with him, trying to get his attention, and Ethan would politely flirt back, not wanting to hurt her feelings.
