Suddenly I decided to play a small prank. I talked to her as if I'd just realized something, "Oh, golly. I see. My roommate is Joseph. I've never called him Joe. Sure, you've got the right phone number!"& Q% i+ V. a8 k8 C! B

"That can't be true!" the girl cried out desperately. "He cannot do that! We are dating on the beach of Lake Michigan this evening! Actually I am driving to Chicago right now!"

Apparently, she had called the wrong number. She dialed the area code 780 by mistake. I began to regret for the trick that might hurt the girl on the other end. How could I explain everything to her?
