title: Drunk Dial
author: Ward, Penelope
description: It seemed like a good idea at the time. Look up Landon Roderick, that boy from childhood whom I'd never been able to forget -- even though he so easily forgot about me -- and call him.
  
  Then again, anything sounds like a good idea when you've had a little too much wine before bed, right? It was supposed to be just a quick, meaningless, prank call. Instead, I went off on him -- unloading thirteen years of pent-up emotions.
  
  I didn't think he'd call me back.
  
  I certainly could never have anticipated the weeks of sexually tense phone conversations that followed as I got to know the man he'd become.
  
  Turned out, Landon had never really forgotten me, either. That special connection we had was still there. I opened up to him, but there were also things about me he didn't know. And he had his own secrets.
  
  Over the countless hours we talked on the phone, I wondered what would happen if we actually saw each other. One night, I did something impulsive again. Only this time, I went to the airport and booked a ticket to California. We were about to find out if one phone call could bring two lost souls together or if my drunk dial really was all just a big mistake.
