A Fateful Outcome

They had been together for a long time but Josh and Sophie had recently split and the only people who were at all surprised by it was them.
There were never two more incompatible souls to share a life than they.
In fact they had spent much of the previous two years constantly bickering and arguing.
The problem was that Josh was too laid back and easy going for Sophie who was very pushy and way too ambitious.
Josh didn’t want to climb the greasy pole and Sophie didn’t want to settle for less than the best.

Kay had been in love with Josh since school, she was in the year below, but she could never seem to catch his eye.
So he ended up with Sophie and Kay married Colin who turned out to be the most boring man in Britain so she divorced him after a year.
She had been pretty much on her own since, not that she hadn’t tried to find someone else.
She had but the problem was they never had Joshua’s smile, his sense of humour or indeed his cute arse.
So she had finally resolved that if she could not have Joshua she would end her days a spinster.

That was until one day when fate took a hand.
Joshua and Sophie’s divorce was final and part of the divorce agreement was that they should sell the house that was once the marital home.
Of the two of them it was Joshua who was tasked with selling it.
So it was on a sunny spring morning Joshua walked into an Estate Agents where the senior partner was Kay.
