Up In Smoke

He sat staring at the paper in his hands, frowning. "She can't be serious." He mumbled. Though after dating her for eight months, he had a pretty good handle on how crazy his ex-girlfriend was. This notice he'd gotten in the mail that she was suing him for her possessions that she'd lost in the apartment fire three months ago only proved it. 
He didn't want to believe it was true though. Like Seriously. How was it his fault she'd lost her stuff?!The fire hadn't been caused by him at all! No, it was some faulty wiring in the basement where the laundry was that had caused the place to go up in smoke. Everyone had lost everything. 
So why sue him?
Why try and take what little money he had left in a quest to replace things?  At least she'd escaped with her life! She had made the choice to move some of her things into his place. It had been her fault for not coming to grab them as soon as they'd broken up. He wasn't liable for her stuff. 
Yet here he was...sitting with a notice in his hands telling him he was.
Ha. 
No. No way was he going to play that game. He'd have insurance look into it, and his lawyer friend. She had no grounds. No grounds at all.
