long distance call...

she had to dial three times before she correctly got every number from the calling card and the long distace country code and the mobile number all in the proper order, so by the time he answered she was already a bit flustered. hearing his voice after so much time was cotton candy at the midway. she dove into the sweetness knowing full well that the toothache would be around the corner. they laughed and shared gossip and caught up on all the minutia of their lives speaking rapidly and aware that minute by minute they were running out of time. then the line was interrupted with the one minute warning bleep so they sang eachother their iloveyous and sent wishes to everyone else they collectively knew. when the line went dead she had tears in her eyes but so much joy in her heart.
