heartbreak.<br \/>\nThree years after we split, a phone call from Nicole changed everything.<br \/>\nShe told me her grandmother wasn\u2019t doing well.<br \/>\nMimi was still family to me, and she

could handle it, because her grandmother loved me so much.<br \/>\nSo, not only would I have to see Nicole again, but I\u2019d be pretending to still be her husband.<br \/>\nTwo weeks in a tiny house in a small town with the woman who broke my heart. Or was it me who broke hers?<br \/>\nIt was complicated.<br \/>\nAnd it was about to be a heck of a lot<em>\u00a0more<\/em> complicated sharing one bed in the guest room with a woman who wasn\u2019t
