DIRTY DADDIES
I heard his release, the ragged pants, and then, so quietly I almost missed it, he whispered, “Maeve.”
He’d used my name.
We lay in silence for a moment, the connection burning between us.
“You called me Maeve,” I said softly.
“I did. Your information is saved,” He sounded… shaken. “It’s a beautiful name.”
“I don’t even know yours.”

The giving of his real name felt more intimate than anything that had come before. A line had been crossed.
The calls became an addiction. Tuesday and Thursday nights were sacred. I’d rush home from work, my body already burning with anticipation.
