  Ethan Hill. 38. Single. Straight. Detective.“I don’t care if you think Annie was the worst person on the planet. No little girl deserves to die like that.”

She knew she should have told Ethan the truth of why she broke up with him. But Joan had no idea how or what to say about it. Keeping her head down she wandered around the town, avoiding any eye contact with everyone, and eventually wound up in front of Ethan’s home. It was now or never right? They needed to have that talk. Why was she so nervous? She took a deep breathe and exhaled it slowly before knocking on the door. “Hey, was wondering if we can talk?” @ethan—hill​

[ethan---hill]

When Ethan woke up that day, he never expected to read what he did with his morning paper. Joan had been an escort. Was that why she had broken up with him? Did she think he wouldn’t accept it and try and get her out of that life? Sighing a little bit, as he read over the paper again like maybe it had been a mistake, he put it away when he heard the knock at his door. Maybe it was Haley or someone from the station. He wasn’t due in today but he would go in. Getting up, he opened the door and seen Joan standing there. With her next words, he moved aside. “Sure.” He closed it behind her. “Can I get you anything?”

“Hey gorgeous.” Ethan grinned, moving over to her. Holding out a cup of coffee for her. “How did you sleep?” He questioned, the only time that he slept in was whenever they were together.

[haley-watson]

“Hey, yourself…” She smiled as she reached for the coffee, having a sip and then rubbing her eyes with her other hand. “Pretty good, actually.” Despite the fact she’d been anxious before drifting off. “I didn’t know if you’d still be here or not.” She chuckled, figuring he might have gone off to work.

[ethan---hill]

Ethan couldn’t help but smile when she reached for the coffee. Stealing a quick kiss in the process. “Good I’m glad.” It seemed like they slept better whenever it was together. Even if it wasn’t physical just some cuddling or light conversation before bed. “Yeah I am. I’m going to head out soon though. Truthfully my days are better whenever I get to see you first.”

“Only if you’re sure… I really wouldn’t want to put you out.” She said, giving him her most charming smile.

“I am sure. I don’t mind at all and you aren’t putting me out.” He told her, before grabbing a box. “Just tell me where I am going with this.”

Joan nodded her head, “ Yeah, just haven’t been sleeping well lately.” 

“If you want to talk about it. I’m here.”

So the image of him and someone else that was sent to her was true. She thought to herself before nodded her head, “ Thanks, I’m not staying too long but I figure I’d come for a little bit.” 

Ethan nodded his head a little bit, looking over at her for a moment. “Are you okay?”

[ethan---hill]

joanweston​:

Looking over at the person she noticed that it was Ethan. She sighed quietly before looking back at the couple, “I didn’t know that you were sitting there…” She whispered back.

“Yeah, my girlfriend is the wedding party and Lauren is the chief.” He shrugged a little bit. “It’s fine that you sat here. I don’t mind.”

[kristamanning-blog]

Once she got to the wedding, Joan realized she was a tiny bit late.  If it weren’t for her lack of sleep she would have been there earlier. “ This is such a beautiful ceremony.” She whispered softly to the person next to her. @secretsummerstarters​

[ethan---hill]

“That it is.” Ethan whispered, looking over at Joan for a moment. He hadn’t realized it was her before until now. 

[poppy-hart]

@secretsummerstarters​

“Is it important? I’m kind of busy here.” She muttered, grabbing another box from the ground and attempting to shove it into her already pretty crammed car boot.

[ethan---hill]

“Just wondering if you needed a hand or something?” Ethan questioned, looking over at her for a moment.

“I have two hours before my shift. What should we do?” Ethan asked, as they moved through the carnival. Squeezing her hand gently. This felt nice being out in the open like this with her.

“Alright,  I really cannot say no to coffee. I’ve been at these all morning, I probably even look like trash right now.” She chuckled softly.

“You don’t. Promise. Now come on let’s go and get that coffee. Come back with fresh eyes.” He chuckled a little bit.

[ethan---hill]

joanweston​:

Joan nodded her hand before handing his phone back. “ You’re welcome, at least it’s back with it’s owner and not with some crazy person…” She said softly, praying that he wouldn’t ask her for anything. As she wasn’t entirely ready to talk about that. “I, um, should probably get going… It was nice running into you, Ethan…”

“This is very true.” Ethan stated, taking his phone from her and placing it into his pocket. He had information on there involving some cases, texts between Haley and himself that no one should see. “Joan..wait.” He wasn’t sure why he asked her wait. Maybe he just wanted to catch up or something. “Can we get a coffee?”

[ethan---hill]

haley-watson​:

Haley doubted she would get as many frequent visits as she did before but she knew what having your child kidnapped was like so she wouldn’t really blame them for keeping the kids with them at home… though she’d feel a little blamed. But she’d just enjoy having them again tonight. “Seems that way.” She smiled lightly, looking up at him.

Ethan didn’t blame her for this at all. He blamed whoever took Hope, and he was doing his best to find out who that was. It was nice having them there though even with all the security that he had installed. “I’m certainly not complaining.” He leaned down to kiss her gently.

[ethan---hill]

haley-watson​:

Haley blamed herself and she couldn’t really let it go. She’d been sick with terror about Ruby and Mason’s kidnappings in the past and then she’d allowed Hope to be taken? She couldn’t forgive herself. “That’s good… we should probably leave before they wake up.” She chuckled quietly, moving aside so he could step out. “Yeah, she’s finally down too.”

Ethan didn’t blame her, in fact he blamed whoever took her and he was still looking into the case. Even if Hope had been returned, still someone was out there and could do this again. Hence the extra security. “Agreed.” Ethan chuckled lightly, stepping out of the bedroom. Looking over at her. “So it’s just us huh?”
