Surprise Fling with a Friend After Mutual Heartbreak [mf]

I (M31) had a FWB relationship with a friend from high school (F30) about four years ago. (I’ll call her M.) Though we’re not together anymore, the memory of our time together still thrills me to my core.

M and I were in the same grade in high school and shared a few classes together. I liked her just fine then, but was preoccupied with other girls and only thought of her as a friend. After high school, M and I fell out of touch for a couple of years before spontaneously reconnecting over Facebook. She remained in our hometown while I went to college out of state, but we soon kept in touch on a daily basis – sharing our goals, thoughts, preferences, and daily chitchat with each other. We both pursued relationships with the opposite sex, but both remained single. We continued that way for five years.
