Holy cow this feels shorter than a lot of the installments but that might be because I read it so fast and it hit so hard. Intentional or not, you have the “denying three times” situation here with the phone calls, not to mention this woman trying to keep herself together while her grief is abused and twisted into a fear of her husband’s voice, and yet, how can you stop answering the phone or stop looking forward to hearing him speak? Such an amazing chapter
when I wrote this, trying to think of what would make this personal for me, I thought about my wife. And yeah, I’d answer that phone every time or talk to any voice I thought was from her. I’d be an easy victim.
Oh fuck...I don't think that's Mark. Don't answer the phone after midnight Sharon!
Don’t answer the phone!!

HOW COULD YOU NOT ANSWER?? This was a unique one to write
Yeah, I wouldn’t be able to not answer. No matter how “wrong,” I’d probably answer every time
