Josh and Sophie had been together for a significant amount of time, but had recently separated and when it happened, the only people who were surprised at all by it, was them.
It was the general consensus
among those who knew them that there were never two more incompatible souls to
share a life than they.
In fact, the couple 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.
In short 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 they were at school, she was in the year below, and she had fancied him
like mad, 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 that, 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
as a singleton that was until one day when fate took a hand.
Joshua and Sophie’s divorce became
final and part of the divorce agreement was that they should sell the house
that was once the marital home, and of the two of them it was Joshua who was
tasked with selling it.
Which was why on a fateful sunny
spring morning, Joshua walked into an Estate Agent’s in town where the senior
partner was Kay.
