Me: hello?
  
A: hey. it's A.
  
Me: oh. hi.
  
A: i just thought id call after...you know...
  
Me: after you didn't call, you mean?
  
A: i had an epiphany-
  
Me: is that so?
  
A: -that maybe you wanted something more.
  
Me: more of?
  
A: more of me, more of me and you... i know we talked about it that night, so i just thought id let you know. that im available. if you want to...
  
Me: actually i don't want anything anymore. i put so much energy into wanting you to call, in hoping and pleading and waiting and needing that ive compressed you into a single syllable from across the telephone wire. that just the fact that you called and said that one syllable is enough. there is nothing more i need from you.
  
A: oh
  
Me: yup.
