Pāhonoa te oro

I didn’t expect to run into my ex again. It had been almost a year since we stopped talking, and I thought I’d moved on. But one night, I got a text from an unknown number. It said, “Hey… I think you left something at my place.” I didn’t reply at first. I figured it was a mistake. Then another message came in. “Please don’t ignore me. I just want to talk.” Against my better judgment, I asked who it was. The reply came almost instantly: “You know who this is.” So I asked what they wanted.
