![]() Normally I would use a caller’s name here, to cement the trust I’m trying to build, but she refused to give it. I worry that she might hang up, but she finally answers. I wouldn’t even consider leaving him if it weren’t for . . . The silence stretches like a yawning chasm as I wait for her next words to either topple me over the precipice or guide me safely away from the edge. I think he’s been having trouble at work, but he won’t talk to me about it." He buys me everything I could ever want . . . There’s something in her voice that makes me think she might have been telling the truth the first time. But there’s something different about this caller. It’s not uncommon for callers to make grand, sweeping statements about murder or conspiracies and then recant moments later. If you believe your life is in danger, you need to call the police. I know I should use open-ended questions, but I already find myself going off-script. ![]() My eyes skim across the page in front of me. I grip the telephone and take a deep breath. ![]()
