Dear Wayne and Wanda, Last summer, when the pandemic had worn on for several months already, I reconnected with my ex. At first it was just texts, which grew more flirtatious, and one night, he came over. From that point on we were hanging out and hooking up again. We never said we were back together. We never went on any dates. In fact, we never did much of anything except he’d come over and spend the night. But we had long talks and we went through COVID together and I definitely felt like we were rekindling our romance and getting a second chance.
