Chapter 1 · An excerpt
You Want Them Back.
Where Do You Begin?
Maya types, “Can we please talk?” Then deletes it. Her relationship with Alex ended four days ago. She wants to explain the argument, correct the misunderstanding, and make the silence stop. In her mind, one perfect conversation might restore everything.
Before choosing a message, identify the question you are trying to answer. Do you want to know whether Alex still cares? Whether the breakup is final? Whether the problem could change? Or do you mainly need relief from an unbearable evening? Those needs are real, but they call for different actions. A message about reconciliation may not be able to meet a need for immediate comfort.
Maya and Alex are fictional characters used in the book.
Write what you hope a reunion would restore, then what would need to be different. Keep both lists.
A little clarity
