She dialed his number.

After three rings, he picked up the phone. She could tell from

his thick hello that he'd been sleeping.

She didn't say anything. Maybe this was all she'd wanted.

To hear his voice was enough.

She didn't hang up, though.

"Hello?" he said again.

She just kept breathing.

"Nora?" he said.

After five years.

"How did you know it was me?
She heard him laughing softly. "I recognized your silence.

It's different from anyone else's"

This might have been the most romantic thing anyone had ever said to her.
