The phone rang as 1 he was 2 leaving the apartment 3. He didn't answer it. It's probably 4 Dave, he thought 5. His brother Dave had 6 said 7 he would 8 call. He returned 9 home an hour later 10. He checked his phone for missed calls. There was only the one call. But it wasn't his brother's number. Who could 11 it be, he wondered 12. He dialed 13 the number. A woman answered. She said, "Hello, Kim, how are you doing?" Kim was his wife 14'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 15 who it was. It was some woman who called his wife occasionally 16. They had been classmates at school. His wife was polite 17 to her. But his wife didn't like her. She never returned this woman's phone calls. He himself 18 had never met or talked to her. "Sorry, wrong number," he said.
