Friend who hooked up with my ex is trying to come back into my life. Should I reconnect?

Anonymous

A couple of years ago, one of my best friends at the time went after my then-boyfriend and they ended up hooking up behind my back. I suspected something was going on with them so I confronted him and her, but she denied it and lied to my face while my boyfriend admitted everything. We broke up and they began dating for quite awhile. Obviously I stopped speaking to either of them and blocked them.

Now, years later, this same friend somehow (?) contacted me and sent me a long text (I guess she had changed numbers in that time) saying how bad she felt about the whole thing and that she "only did it because she always envied my life and thought I was perfect" but has changed and wants to reconnect. She says she misses our friendship and would never do that sort of thing now. Obviously I feel some type of way about this, I don't know if I could ever trust her again because she was not really a good person back then. I am engaged to a man I love now and wouldn't even want to introduce her to my fiancé out of fear of her flirting with him or doing something.

What should I do? I miss our friendship sometimes, but only the laughs we had together. We used to get on really well. But maybe that was all fake because in the end she stabbed me in the back. Would you ever forgive or let someone like that back into your life? She is begging for my forgiveness and asking to meet up for a drink.
