I totally loved this short story. I loved everything about it. I don't think there was one wrong thing with this story. It was written so well and was perfectly cut off at each scene. It didn't run on and on with random filler.It is about a self-chosen loner who calls people from her bedroom and sits there on the other line and waits for them to hang up. Just so she can have just a sense of something. She - Cathy - has a wall compiled with over fifty phone books and she loves dialing numbers at random just so she can hear their voice and live through the anticipation of when and how they will hang up. She will never hang up first. It is a game she plays to amuse herself. Until one day she calls a number at random and when he picks up the phone she responds on the other line accidentally. Hating herself after the outburst she doesn't hang up. She just can't. That's not how it works with her. He stays on the phone and says things that intrigue her. She won't give in and hang up even though she wants to. He keeps talking and she responds with one word then hangs up.I was so interested at that part to see if she was going to respond to all his questions and concerns of who was on the other line. I loved how even though he didn't know who was on the phone, he asked her if she needed help or just someone to talk to. That was so sweet.I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a short sweet erotica story that just seemed right for two people who just don't seem to fit in anywhere.
