Drunk Dial

by Penelope Ward

First published 2017

After too much wine, the protagonist picks up her phone and calls Landon Roderick, the boy from her childhood who never left her thoughts. What starts as a prank call becomes an emotional outburst where she unleashes thirteen years of bottled feelings. She expects nothing back. Instead, Landon calls her again. Their conversations stretch across weeks, filled with sexual tension as they discover the adults they've become. The connection from their youth remains strong, but both carry secrets they haven't shared. She opens herself to him while holding back crucial truths. He does the same. Through countless hours on the phone, she wonders what would happen if they met face to face. One impulsive night, she books a flight to California without warning. Two people separated by distance and time are about to learn whether a single drunk dial can reunite lost souls or prove that some mistakes can't be undone.
