The phone rang as he was leaving the
apartment. He didn't answer it. It's probably Dave, he thought. His brother
Dave had said he would call. He returned home an hour later. He checked his
phone for missed calls. There was only the one call. But it wasn't his
brother's number. Who could it be, he wondered. He dialed the number. A woman
answered. She said, "Hello, Kim, how are you doing?" Kim was his
wife's name. Who is this, he wondered. "Who's this?" he asked.
"Who's this?" she asked. "You called me." He didn't answer.
Now he realized who it was. It was some woman who called his wife occasionally.
They had been classmates at school. His wife was polite to her. But his wife
didn't like her. She never returned this woman's phone calls. He himself had
never met or talked to her. "Sorry, wrong number," he said. |
