Reaching out
Moved by what he saw, Julian decides to reach out to Elara for the first time since the divorce. He took his phone, hesitated, and finally dialed her number.
“Hello, Elara? It’s Julian,” he said, his voice trembling. There was a pause before she replied, her voice cautious.
He could sense her apprehension but pushed forward. “I’d like to talk,” he said. The decision to reach out felt like the beginning of a new, uncertain chapter.
