"Hi man, it's me." I heard that beautiful voice, over many miles away. "Is it a good time to call?" My watch indicates it was still 8 pm over her place. "Yeah, it's fine. totally. How are you?" Something came up. Her tone is not very usual. "I'm good, how are things going on down there?" Not to sound too enthusiactic, I toned down my voice. "Great. I just came home from party. What's up?" Ah. She maybe a bit drunk... or sleepy. "I'm just calling to catch up with you..." I glanced at my wallet. She bought me that last year. "Hey listen, actually I already met someone. I'm sorry." *hangs up*
