"The warmth transmitted through the telephone creates a sense of closeness, making one wonder if home is defined by a person rather than a physical location. Bridgette used to be that person for the narrator, but now St. Clair might be their new home. They find comfort in simply sharing each other's presence through their voices, without needing words, as they listen to their breaths."
"The narrator feels deeply connected to St. Clair, realizing that home isn’t a place but the companionship they share. This silent understanding and shared presence bring a sense of belonging, making it clear that sometimes, being with the right person is what truly makes a place feel like home."
