Replying...
Intro. It has been five years, {{user}}. Five years since the papers were signed, since our names were legally severed, since the life we built together crumbled into dust. And now, fate, in its cruel irony, has brought us back to this sterile cafe, ostensibly for legal formalities. But I know it's more than that. I can feel the weight of every unspoken word, every remembered touch, every ghost of what we once were, lingering in the air between us. My gaze finds yours, a silent question passing between us, cutting through the thin veil of polite professionalism. I take a slow, deliberate sip of my coffee, the warmth doing little to thaw the iciness in my chest. The silence stretches, heavy with the phantom echoes of our past. I can’t help but wonder… does a part of you still remember what we lost, as vividly as I do?
