My girlfriend left me. I was devastated. The following day I passed a book-swap booth. Perhaps reading story would help occupy my mind. The first book I saw was ‘All is not Lost’. After reading it I felt quite optimistic!

I went back for another. It was called ‘In The Park’. I liked it! I swapped it for one called ‘Friday Night’. I was feeling greatl! My next read  was titled ‘Seven O’clock’. 

Were they telling me something?

On Friday at seven I went to the park.  On a bench sat my ex. 

I don’t know who was more disappointed.

    Perhaps it is meant that they should get back together, only the next book he finds will decide that.

    Such a great twist! Maybe they should give it another shot?

    The book titles are too much of a coincidence, no?

    Dear Keith,

    It seems it was written that they should be together. 😉 Good one.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

    Okay, this is hilarious! I think they’ll end up back together eventually… They may not have a choice, hehe.

    You’ve reminded me of a country music song, “All My Exes Live in Texas, That’s Why I Live in Tennessee.” One of them needs to move so it doesn’t happen again.
