　　The phone rang as1 he was2 leaving the apartment3. He didn't answer it. It's probably4 Dave, he thought5. His brother Dave had6 said7 he would8 call. He returned9 home an hour later10. He checked his phone for missed calls. There was only the one call. But it wasn't his brother's number. Who could11 it be, he wondered12. He dialed13 the number. A woman answered. She said, "Hello, Kim, how are you doing?" Kim was his wife14'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 realized15 who it was. It was some woman who called his wife occasionally16. They had been classmates at school. His wife was polite17 to her. But his wife didn't like her. She never returned this woman's phone calls. He himself18 had never met or talked to her. "Sorry, wrong number," he said.
