Review: Phone makes the connection

A young woman makes her connections by phone but is thrown when a man will not hang up first.  I liked how the tension she felt when the man would not hang up built.  Should she hang up first?  She has to make decisions she's not prepared for--not just for this one call but for her life and moving on from her past.  The sexual tension build-up was great as they build a phone relationship that moves to a personal one.  The words are stark and spare.  I could feel her loneliness and aloneness, her uncertainty.  Very beautiful prose.
