The phone rang. He wanted to ignore it. But he just couldn't ignore the incessant vibrating and ringing. He muted the TV and answered it. It was her. And she was lost on her way back home. "Give me directions back home", she said.
"Why", he asked. "You don't live here."
"I don't?", she asked. She sounded very surprised.
"Of course, not," he said. "We still haven't decided to live in together and I feel like you are rushing things. "
She was now really furious. "What the hell is the matter with you? You dare tell me, your wife, that I can't come home?"
That gave him pause. Wife? "But we are not even married!"
Her retort was prompt, "You bastard!"
But a thought occured to him, "Are you Laura?" There was a pause. "No," she said. "I'm Victoria."
Pause again. He said, "I think you have the wrong number."
"You are right. Sorry, "she said. And hung up.
He sighed and unmuted the TV.
