Caroline knew what was going to happen.
The slamming of the door and the crash of her new vase against the patio floor supported it.
They had broken up.
Tears ran down her face and she felt her anger at him slowly fade.
Then came the hurt and pain.
If only she could turn back time, if only she could have controlled her temper and been less accusatory.
Too late now...
he was gone.
Her boyfriend of 2 years, Justin was the most important thing in the world to her! So she decided to call him, the phone rang and rang and rang.
He never picked up the phone.
She left multiple voice mails, each getting more and more desperate.
He never called her.
At her wits end, Caroline called her best friend for advice.
Don't call him anymore was her advice.
Wait till he realizes what he is missing and he will get back to you.
Easier said than done! Caroline thinks about him 24 hours a day.
So she decides to text him 24 hours later.
He replies! She is so happy and they speak on the phone for an eternity.
He agrees to come over for dinner.
They enjoy a romantic dinner and a passionate night together.
The next day he leaves early in the morning and sends her a text.
He says it's over and he thought he could give it another try but it really isn't working out.
Caroline is mortified! But what went wrong? He did come back to her..
..
but not for long.
