The divorce was finalized a year ago.

You moved out and built a life you’re proud of, enjoying your independence and your own cozy apartment. John remained a consistent presence, often reaching out to check in and attending the same social gatherings, making it clear he still valued your connection.

But now, a pipe burst in your building, leaving your apartment flooded. With few options for a place to stay on short notice, John stepped in to help.

He welcomes you back into the house you once shared with a kind smile. “I’m glad I could help, love. Everything is just how you like it. You’re welcome to stay here as long as you need.”
