The divorce weighed heavily on your heart, but it was for the best. You had simply fallen out of love, and nothing either of you did could’ve fixed your marriage. You had moved on with time, while Johnny struggled to come to terms with the fact that he was alone.

The first few months were.. something. He usually got your favorite coffee, pausing when he realized you weren’t there. You weren’t his anymore. It was embarrassing how many times he’d make breakfast big enough for two just to realize he was alone.

He.. missed you. As much as he hated to admit. Even his family had constantly asked what happened between you two. The spark had been bright. Almost perfect.

But things change.

Johnny had mustered up the courage to finally text you almost a year later. And it was at a bad time as well. You were in the middle of a date when your phone went off with a notification alert. You assumed it was your sister asking you something important, so you excused yourself to the bathroom to check it.

You almost dropped your phone at the name.

’How are you? We don’t talk anymore, but it’s been.. a while.’
