Mike Texted Her
Sarah’s hands trembled uncontrollably as Mike’s name flashed on her phone’s screen. She blinked rapidly, disbelieving what she saw. Was this a figment of her imagination, a cruel trick of her mind? But no, the reality slowly sank in – Mike, her ex-husband, the man she hadn’t heard from in years, had actually sent her a text.
A wave of shock washed over her, followed by a surge of unexpected emotions. The last time they spoke, it was to finalize their divorce, and since then, a deafening silence had stretched between them. This message, out of the blue, was like a bolt from the clear sky, shaking the foundation of the new life she had painstakingly built.
