She sank onto the edge of the bathtub, tears stinging her eyes. How had it come to this? She and Ethan had been inseparable since childhood, best friends who shared everything. Everything except the unspoken feelings that had always lingered between them.

That fateful night, when they had crossed a line they had sworn never to breach, replayed in her mind like a broken record. It had been a perfect storm of emotions and circumstances. Ethan’s fiancée’s sudden disappearance, his need for a supportive shoulder, and perhaps, deep down, a part of her that had always hoped for more.

He had made it clear that what had happened between them was a mistake, a slip in judgment fueled by alcohol and heartache. He was in love with Candice, her best friend, and he couldn’t betray her like that.

Lila had understood, or at least she had tried to convince herself that she did. She had pushed down her own feelings, buried them deep, and put on a brave face. She had helped Ethan get back with Candice, had stood by their side as they planned their wedding, all the while nursing a broken heart.

As she sat there, lost in her thoughts, a single tear slipped down her cheek. She knew what she had to do. She had to protect Ethan, even if it meant sacrificing her own happiness. She had to find a way to move on, to let go of the love she had always harbored for him, and to find a new path for herself and her unborn child. It was the only way to keep their fragile bond intact, even if it meant breaking her own heart in the process.
