No Phone

"You don't wear a watch?" Riley asked.

"Or carry a cell phone," Brigid said.

"How do people get a hold of you?" Riley asked.

"You don't. If I want to talk to you, I'll find you." Brigid picked the lint off Riley's armchair, frowning at each thread and hair. "I had a cell phone once. My agent kept calling me on my vacation so I tossed the phone into the ocean. I may have killed a few fish, but I'll never have another cell phone."
