Of all my exes the one I have the most contact with is Sarah. Although all implies many, I have only had three exes and don't intend to make it four.
We were friends first of all. You can't travel through space and time and narrowly escape with our lives many times and not end up friends. I wasn't sure, when I stayed on Earth, whether I would ever see her again. By then my feelings for her were more than just friendship but I knew she didn't feel the same way. I didn't think she ever would.
When she pursued a relationship with me I could hardly say no. Although later, when we ended it, I wondered if it hadn't been a mistake and I would lose a friend.
Happily, I have to say, I didn't. I don't mean that everything has been perfect between us, but there are things we've seen that few people on Earth have seen or would believe if I told them. I'm glad we had the relationship we did because now we can both be sure we never want to try it again. Now she's one of my best friends, but don't tell her I said that.
