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!"

"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?
