    Summary

    The phone rings, and rings, and Steve’s clutching it against his cheek. Breath short, palms sweating. A shell of what remained, a shell of the King Steve who used to dial a date with confidence. Woo girls over with ease. Sweet-talk them into his bed. He leaned against the kitchen island, phone clenched in-hand and waited. Listened to the tonal ring — ring.

    And tried not to think about his breakup with Nancy.

    Nerves bunched in his throat. So when the phone finally picked up, Steve just -

    Started talking.

    “Hey, Veronica.” Steve said. “I - Uh - Found your ad in an escort mag and wanted to invite you over tonight. It’s, ah - I live at 1872 Highland Boulevard. Loch Nora.”

    Silence.

    “Yeah, so. Let me know if you can come tonight. It’s just me home. Alone tonight, and - Yeah. Just wanna show you a good time.”

    More silence.

    Steve gritted his teeth. A good time? Christ, what a cookie cutter thing to say. What was wrong with him? He should have just-

    “Harrington?” A deep - man’s voice sounded on the other line.

    And Steve's blood ran cold.
