Different Journeys
Description
Teresa's first thing in the morning text message was a punch in the guts. "Sorry, Colin. I love you, but we're on different journeys. Let's stay friends." I blinked twice to clear my eyes and was about to respond, "Are you serious?" but threw the phone against the bedroom wall instead.
Different Journeys is a short story from the Tall And True writers' website, written and narrated by Robert Fairhead.
