OLD FLAME
One night, a few months after the divorce, John was at a bar with some work friends when he saw an old high school flame walk in. They recognised each other excitedly and exchanged warm hugs. John invited her to sit with him and catch up. He wasn’t looking for love, he just wanted to chat with an old friend.
But as they rekindled their friendship, the connection that they’d once made back in high school came back. By the end of the night, they were exchanging numbers with each other. John went home and thought about what could lie ahead. Maybe this old flame was what he needed to make a new start.
