Thirty – Spilling All TheHops
It’s now September and I have been cominghome every weekend. I try to ring Fiona from time to time at thehostel, but she always has an excuse for not talking on the phonetoo long. I often hear her husband’s demanding voice in thebackground questioning her as to who she is talking to. I am alsoconscious of the other guys curious to know who I am talking with.Brief phone calls seem to attract more attention than longones.
Sometimes I pretend to have longerconversations so I can throw people off scent. Over the last twomonths I have had at least six pretend conversations. They havebeen short ones to my sister but they turn into lengthy ones down asilent receiver. I’m good at pretending to listen and talking to noone. I also make pretend phone calls to Netta.
