He called this morning

Six months of nothing and then his name on my phone at seven in the morning like no time had passed at all.

Coffee. That was the whole ask. Not a speech, not an apology with a run-up to it — just coffee, and that old voice he uses when he already knows the answer.

I said yes before I had decided to. I want that recorded honestly, because I am going to want to tell myself later that I thought about it.
