When I saw the message from my ex-girlfriend, I couldn't believe my eyes. It had been years since we last spoke, and now she was messaging me out of the blue. The content of the message was even more surprising- she was asking for my help with changing the oil in her car.
According to her message, she had recently moved abroad with her husband and was struggling to find someone who could assist her with this task. She knew that I had always been good with cars, and so she thought of reaching out to me.
At first, I was hesitant. After all, we hadn't spoken in so long, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to get involved in her personal life again. However, I also knew that helping her would be the right thing to do. So, I agreed to meet her at the garage where she had scheduled the oil change.
As I arrived at the garage, I saw her waiting for me by her car. She looked just as beautiful as I remembered, with a smile on her face that brought back memories of our past together. However, I quickly reminded myself that those days were over and that I was there to help her with her car.
Together, we got started on the oil change. As we worked, we caught up on each other's lives and reminisced about old times. It was strange how comfortable it felt, despite the long period of silence between us. It was almost like no time had passed at all.
Once we finished, we said our goodbyes. I watched her drive away, feeling a mix of emotions. Helping her had made me realize that I still cared about her, but I also knew that she was married and living a completely different life now.
As I walked away, I couldn't help but wonder if our paths would ever cross again. Only time would tell. But for now, I was just glad to have been able to help her out and to have reconnected with someone who had once been an important part of my life.
