Over the countless hours we talked on the phone, I wondered what would happen if we actually saw each other. I opened up to him, but there were also things about me he didn’t know. That special connection we had was still there. Turned out, Landon had never really forgotten me, either. I certainly could never have anticipated the weeks of sexually tense phone conversations that followed as I got to know the man he’d become. Instead, I went off on him-unloading thirteen years of pent-up emotions. Then again, anything sounds like a good idea when you’ve had a little too much wine before bed, right?
