The telephone rang at 9:47 PM. Y/N stuck her head out of the bedroom, pulled her nightgown past her shoulders. Calls this late were seldom, even with Mabel’s disregard of time zones. Odds were it was Patricia checking in under the guise of chewing the fat, which had already been nibbled twice today. Or Greater Gotham Cable peddling their latest “preferred customer deal” of twenty-eight stations for only $12.99 a month, plus a free trial of the Gentlemen’s Club, guaranteed to make even the most reserved viewer bust a button - an offer Y/N was sure to decline. She padded through the living room to the kitchen, lowering the window shades along the way, and answered the phone with a yawned hello.
