On The Other End

Miss Take immediately realized she had called the wrong number when Mr. Ree answered. She hated herself now for not taking his number off of the list. But as soon as she heard his voice there was no denying where her heart was. Why couldn't they just work things out? She blamed it on the vague explainations he offered concerning past relationships. He blamed it on her unwillingness to take his last name. "Mrs. Ree Take? That would never do," Mr. Ree would complain.

The fact that the two hadn't spoken to one another for quite some time had its consequences in the end and after a few awkward attempts at moving past hello, Miss Take began to apologize for her dialing error. However, before she could finish her thought the phone went dead and Mr. Ree disappeared forever.
