My ex’s old lover
I call my ex's old lover during lockdown. Late at night after a bottle of wine. It's been over 3 years but it still hurts like hell. "Caller do you want to talk?" she asks. But I can't bring myself to say the words. To ask her why she broke my heart, dismantled our family. And now he's moved on. I hear her TV in the background and it comforts me to think that she is also alone - the two of us in lockdown - united by our pain.
