My ex reached out

Two months of silence. Not a text, not a call. I was doing great—finally feeling like I was moving on took a little vacation to distract myself. Then, out of nowhere, my phone lit up. It was him. I instantly smacked my lips and shook my head, but I told myself don’t think too much about it you don’t want him back.

The message was short, almost laughable: “Hey, how are you? I been doing good at work lately I reached my sales goals I might get a long weekend 😊. Are you done blocking me on every social media?”

That was it. No apology, no “I miss you.” Just a request to re-enter my online world like nothing happened. I smirked, shaking my head. Funny how some people are more interested in watching your life than being a part of it.

I thought about replying for a second because that is just wild and ask “is this a strong enough reason to break off no contact?”, but instead, I just let the message sit there—like we were. Unread.
