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!"! l7 y5 l6 \) w9 H n; B0 b4 s- T

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?+ S: G- Y" w) S- Z* }3 H2 i
