This is such a beautifully written, poignant scene. It captures the intensity of love, exhaustion, and deep-seated pain that only years of silent suffering can bring, especially in a moment that’s supposed to be filled with pure joy. Caroline’s vulnerability is palpable, and the way Ethan finally steps up, defending her with an unexpected show of solidarity, is incredibly powerful.
Linda’s intrusion and her dismissive, backhanded “congratulations” hits hard, especially in such a raw, intimate moment. The little details—the cheap keychain, the subtle but unwavering change in Ethan’s tone—really elevate the scene. It feels like both a bittersweet closure to past hurts and a quiet but profound beginning for Caroline and Ethan’s family, stronger and united.
