Holden did not even like Luce, but was so hungry for companionship that he called Luce by default, because he was the only person in his address book he could call at that time (save Mr. Antolini, whom he called later). At the end of their conversation, which was mostly comprised of insults form Luce to Holden, Luce gets up to leave, and Holden actually begs him to stay longer: "I'm lonesome as hell".
