Uncanny Love Tales – (16) Fate Will Out

 

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.
