Hello?
Hi there. I'd like to order a large pizza. Half pepperoni and half sausage. And what the hell? It's the weekend so I'll splurge-please add on a ten-piece buffalo wing as well. Medium heat sauce. Two containers of ranch dipping.
This is a private residence, not a pizza parlor.
Oh! I'm sorry. Must have punched in the wrong number.
Not a problem. Have a good night.
You too.

It's still me, Miss.
I know. I called you again on purpose.
Oh.
Why?
Are you okay? I understand we don't know each other, but you don't sound okay. So...you okay?
I'm fine.
Yeah, I'm having a difficult time believing that. You know, sometimes it's easier to talk to someone you don't personally know, so if you want to talk about anything I have an ear to lend. My name is Crystal Newton. You don't have to tell me your name or you could offer up a fictitious one, but...yeah, I'm Crystal.
Crystal, don't you want to order your pizza?
Not starving so it can wait. Talk to me. Please.
Are you there? I think you're there. I hear breathing.
Yona.
What's that?
My name.
Oh! That's different. I like it.
Thanks. It means dove. Wish I were a dove. I'd spread my wings and fly away from this life.
What's going on in your life, Yona?
You there?
I'm here.
Talk to me, sweetheart.
