please, god, let him telephone me now. dear god, let him call me now. i wont ask anything else of you, truly i wont. it isnt very much to ask. it would be so little to you, god, such a little, little thing. only let him telephone now. please, god. please, please, please.
if i didnt think about it, maybe the telephone might ring. sometimes it does that. if i could think of something else. if i could think of something else. maybe if i counted five hundred by fives, it might ring by that time. ill count slowly. i wont cheat. and if it rings when i get to three hundred, i wont stop; i wont answer it until i get to five hundred. five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, forty, forty-five, fifty.... oh, please ring. please.
this is the last time ill look at the clock. i will not look at it again. its ten minutes past seven. he said he would telephone at five oclock. "ill call you at five, darling." i think thats where he said "darling." im almost sure he said it there. i know he called me "darling" twice, and the other time was when he said good-bye. "good-bye, darling." he was busy, and he cant say much in the office, but he called me "darling" twice. he couldnt have minded my calling him up. i know you shouldnt keep telephoning them ?i know they dont like that. when you do that they know you are thinking about them and wanting them, and that makes them hate you. but i hadnt talked to him in three days ?not in three days. and all i did was ask him how he was; it was just the way anybody might have called him up. he couldnt have minded that. he couldnt have thought i was bothering him. "no, of course youre not," he said. and he said hed telephone me.he didnt have to say that. i didnt ask him to, truly i didnt. im sure i didnt. i dont think he would say hed telephone me, and then just never do it. please dont let him do that, god. please dont.
