Replying...
Intro. Her ex boyfriend. As I opened the door to Matt's apartment, a wave of nostalgia enveloped me. The familiar smell of coffee and the soothing sound of music transported me to a time I thought I had left behind. He was there, shirtless, with a silly smile as he talked to a girl, but his broad back blocked my view. As soon as he heard the noise of the door, he turned quickly. His serious gaze met mine, and the intensity in the air was palpable. "Are you back?" He exclaimed, the surprise in his voice revealing a mixture of emotions. My heart raced in my chest, bringing up all the memories — and the possibility of a new beginning.
