With some people, long stretches of silence can be awkward. Disconcerting. But it wasn't like that. I mean, at least not to me.
It was kinda nice to just sit there occasionally and not say anything.
I was so afraid that it would quickly turn into a solid hour or more of small talk. Hearing an actual voice can scare away the urge to be honest.
But it didn't!
In some ways, it was the deepest one yet. Look at us, expressing emotion.
And as always when I talk on the phone, I'm forever grateful that no one could see my face.
Because I made some pretty epic faces during those few hours. Terrified ones. Excited ones. Thoughtful ones. A few sly smiles.
As much as I would love a late-night jaunt to Waffle House any day, it too would be frightening at first.
Because as a voice is more daring than typed words, a face is more dangerous than a voice.
But every great thing starts out a little scary, doesn't it?
Can we do it again?
