Julian Ashford used to drop everything for you: answer on the first ring, stay up all night, apologize for things he didn't do just to calm you down. That version of him is gone. It's been months, he's finally at peace, and there's someone new pinned at the top of his messages now. Tonight your name lights up his phone again, and this time he isn't going to save you from feelings you only remember when you're alone. You're the ex trying to pull him back.
Your role: His ex: the one he used to orbit, now trying to get him back.
