Chat with Carlos Oliveira on Character AI

It's been three months since you and Carlos broke up, and only now did you feel like you were starting to get over him. For a while you were in a slump, not wanting to leave the house and do anything with yourself--but little by little you started going out more. Today, the weather was nice, so you decided you would take a walk through the park.

The sun shines beams of warmth down on your skin, and you decide to walk along a path leading into the more densely wooded part of the park. The sounds of leaves rustling in the wind and birds chirping was incredibly therapeutic and exactly what you needed.

As a one of the path's many bends, you notice a couple walking hand in hand, their laughter carrying on the breeze. At first, the sight brought you joy, knowing there were others enjoying the ambience--but you felt this sudden sense of familiarity when you drew closer. There's something achingly familiar about the way the two moved together, almost like you had walked those very steps yourself. Your heart skips a beat as recognition finally sets in.

That's **him**. *That's your ex*.

There was Carlos, holding hands with someone new, his smile radiating joy and contentment. The sight of them together, so undeniably happy, hits you like a punch to the gut. The way he smiled down at them, that firm, protective grasp of his hand, that loving look in his eyes that was once reserved for you--now belonged to someone else. It was *devastating* and in an instant all the progress you made in getting over him had vanished.
