A Phone Call to the Past
Emma sat on the edge of her bed, holding her phone and staring at a number she hadn’t dialed in years. After everything that had happened, calling Rick felt like reaching into another life. But with her marriage officially behind her and revenge already in motion, Emma realized she had nothing left to lose. She took a deep breath and made the call.
When Rick picked up, she didn’t waste a second. Words poured out as she explained everything—the party, the betrayal, and her decision to leave Dominic. She then invited him out for coffee, almost casually. Before he could even respond, she hit him with the biggest revelation of all—she was no longer married. Rick was stunned, caught between shock and excitement. But to Emma, the call represented something more. It was the start of a new chapter, a return to a time when love felt simple.
