Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

After six years together, Murray Sherwood wrapped his arms around his new flame and broke it off with Roseanne Cole. Calmly and without a scene, Roseanne packed her bags, took a hefty breakup payout, and moved out decisively. Murray's friends immediately started betting on how long she could hold out. The whole town knew how deeply Roseanne loved Murray — she loved him so much that it seemed she had lost her self-respect and her temper, and they were sure she would come crawling back within three days.But three days went by, then another three... and Murray was the one who couldn't take it anymore. For the first time, he caved and called Roseanne. "Have you had enough drama? If so, come back..."Instead of Roseanne's voice, he heard a man's low chuckle. "Mr. Sherwood, once you've let an arrow fly, you can't take it back, just like you can't undo a breakup.""I want to talk to Roseanne. Give her the phone!""Sorry, my girlfriend just went to sleep. She's tired."
