Mr. Telephone Man, Who The #@$* Is On My Woman's Line?

A three-month trip to Seattle is small beans for a young sailor and his girlfriend, considering its short distance from San Diego. The time away only makes the relationship stronger, right? At least, that was the plan … until the sailor called her home and a man answered. Damn.

EXCERPT - Do you know what it’s like to hear a deep-voiced “hello” from your girlfriend’s phone? I do. My girlfriend–I’ll call her Diane–had shacked up with another man while I was a million miles away in Vancouver, Canada. She was in San Diego, California. Now I’ll admit our split was my fault, but damn, how she gonna park a new car in her “garage” within a month of splitting up with me? I promise I won’t use the B-word to describe her…
