After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#149 “Kyle Broke Up with Me.”

Sophia hadn’t stopped smiling all morning. Even then, in her office, while sipping her morning coffee, she had still been overjoyed. While she had looked at documents for another case, her phone had rung.

Sophia picked up and greeted her best friend.

“Good morning, Evelyn,” Sophia chirped.

“It’s not very good,” replied Evelyn from the other end of the line.

Sophia heard her friend’s voice and felt the distress. “What happened, dear?” Sophia asked gently.

“Kyle broke up with me,” replied Evelyn with a sniff.

Sophia’s eyes widened in surprise. ” Why?”

“The pretext is that I dug too much into his private life. The thing is, I was so hopelessly in love with him, and I didn’t understand how that was possible.”

Sophia frowned sympathetically, imagining the pain her friend must have been going through. “Were you able to discuss it?”

“I can’t contact him. His phone was off; he didn’t respond to texts, emails, or anything. I don’t understand, Sophia. I can’t believe that’s reason enough to break up. I thought we had a future.”

Sophia leaned against her desk, her mind racing with concern for Evelyn. ”

I’m so sorry, Evelyn. Breakups are never easy, especially when they’re so sudden. Maybe he was just overwhelmed and needed some time. Have you tried giving him a bit of space?

“I don’t know, Sophia. Everything happened so fast. I feel like I’ve been left with no closure. I just want to talk to him and understand.”
