A Year After Our Divorce, My Ex Dared To Text, “I Need To Talk. Today.” I Replied, “Today I’m Busy…
Greg Morrison is a crisis PR consultant with a counterintelligence past—a man whose profession is built on reading between the lines, neutralizing threats, and controlling narratives before they explode. At thirty-eight, he has dismantled corporate scandals and political disasters with surgical precision. What he failed to dismantle was his own marriage.

Exactly one year after his divorce, Greg receives a terse message from his ex-wife, Alicia: “I need to talk. Today.” No greeting. No context. Just the same calculated urgency that once governed their entire relationship. Greg immediately understands that the timing isn’t accidental. Alicia never acts without motive.

Rather than comply, Greg responds with a provocation—informing her that he already has plans: dinner with her sister, Emily. The move is deliberate. Emily has always been the unpredictable variable in Alicia’s otherwise tightly controlled world, and Greg knows that if Alicia is reaching out now, it means something has gone wrong behind the scenes.

As the afternoon unfolds, Greg begins to anticipate the shape of the coming crisis. Years of professional instinct tell him that Alicia isn’t seeking closure—she’s seeking leverage. The question isn’t what she wants, but what she’s afraid of losing. With Emily caught between loyalty and truth, the evening ahead promises more than awkward conversation; it threatens to expose carefully buried decisions from the final days of the marriage.

This story is a sharp, character-driven psychological drama about control, manipulation, and the quiet power of knowing when not to respond. It explores how people who build their lives on strategy eventually collide with truths they can’t spin—and how the most dangerous conversations are the ones someone insists must happen today.
