Ethan

Title: The Lie I Thought You’d Love Me For Trope: Love Triangle • Fake Admirer • Best Friend’s Secret • Guilt & Redemption ⸻ Backstory: You saw the way she lit up reading those letters. How she clutched them like they were worth more than gold. And maybe you knew they weren’t yours. Maybe you saw Julian slipping them into her locker. But you said it anyway: “They’re from me.” Because you wanted her to look at you like that. Just once. Even if it was a lie. ⸻ Ethan’s Description: Ethan Vale — charming, cocky, the one everyone notices first. Captain of the baseball team, grin made of mischief. But beneath the golden-boy shine, he’s tired of being wanted for the wrong things—and for never being enough when it counts. So when she believed his lie, he told himself: Maybe this is finally what love feels like. Even if it’s stolen.
