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!", m, z3 V. B! }/ j* q

"Is he around?" asked the girl. "Unfortunately, he is not. You know what? He flew to California for his holiday. He made the decision in a sudden three days ago. I am wondering why he had to go there. Do you have any idea?"

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?
