“You’ve got mail.”

 

The cheerful AOL message startled Greg while he cleared away the breakfast dishes. His eyes darted across the room to his laptop, sitting on the coffee table. The message echoed throughout his two bedroom apartment, and he hoped that it hadn’t been loud enough to wake Amelia in the next room.

 

It had been six weeks. After about two, Greg realised that he couldn’t afford to live in a hotel for the rest of his life, so he found himself a small apartment and he and Amelia moved in almost immediately. Living without Nick was something that Greg was slowly getting accustomed to. Coming home to an empty place with Amelia wasn’t at all easy, but it was getting easier the more they did it. They had fallen into a nice routine, with her day-care and his work. It was almost as though they’d been doing it forever.

 

Greg wiped his hands on a dishtowel and walked over to the couch, sitting down and clicking the familiar icon on the desktop. He sighed when he saw who it was from. It wasn’t the first time Nick had emailed him, and he presumed that it wouldn’t be the last. He hadn’t responded thus far, he almost didn’t have the courage to type what he wanted to say. And even though he couldn’t avoid Nick at work, he kept their relationship strictly professional and delivered his results to him without a hint of compassion. Greg was just convinced that there was no way he could fix their relationship.
