Six Sentence Sunday was so much fun last week that we're doing it again! This week's post includes a little flashback from I.O.U. SEX and it's actually only four sentences. We hope you enjoy it.
Peggy smiled at the warmth in his words, the deep timbre of his voice bringing back vivid memories of late-night conversations during high school. She remembered taking the big black telephone from the hallway into her bedroom closet, stretching the phone cord to its full length. She could almost feel the velvety darkness embrace her now, just as it did when she would shut her closet door and sit on the floor, alone with only Mark's voice. They'd talk for hours, discussing nothing and everything, until her mother followed the phone cord to her room and knocked on her closet door with an admonishment.

ReplyDeleteI remember those big black phones. Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteAh...the black rotary telephone. Brings back memories. Remember how long it took to dial when a phone number had a lot of 9s & 0s? Nice six.
ReplyDeleteI remember the black telephone cord well. Also, my mom harassing me to get off the phone. Now I'm married to the wonderful man I had all those conversations with (grin).
ReplyDeleteWe're just thrilled that so many of you are relating to the old rotary dial phone with the long cord. We tried to intersperse those kinds of things throughout the book, showing the contrast between the women's teenage years and now. It really was a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteThat set such a great scene! Ah, memories of the old phones and sneaking off to talk to a guy! Enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteSweet and endearing!
