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!"

"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?"

"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!"/ @5 s" ?) y; H! y$ C6 Y# Y$ ~

"Chicago? Chicago, Illinois?!" I was in surprise, "Hey, gal, what was the phone number you just dialed?" 3 c& o+ C& I a; M' [" x8 h

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?
