hi, this is alice.
and i'm sorry. i'm so, so, so sorry. i have lied to you. but you have to know that it was not intentional. i was drunk, i didn't know what i was saying. or doing. or calling people i shouldn't have been calling when i was drunk. i'm sorry for making promises that i can't keep. but people are full of holes and lies and false hopes that they are bound to be like this. contradictory.
i have remembered your name in the end. it was the first thing that i remembered when i woke up with other than the hangover. noa. that's your name. its very pretty. oh. sorry. i shouldn't say that it's pretty to a guy. but it is. noa. noa. noa. i can go on forever. the sound as i roll it in my mouth...
i'm sorry. i really hope that you're not mad. i didn't mean to. it just came out of my mouth. but i didn't really think that you were going to tell me your name. i won't try to know about you. i'll keep you my secret. a little innocent secret. but if you're really angry then you can just change your number and-
"shut up."
...
he chuckled over the phone.
"stop talking so fast. i can't understand. and i don't care if you know my name."
"noa..."
"well goodbye alice."
