She answers the phone
My lively sister Anna was constantly getting into some kind of mischief, but I was more of a recluse who liked to stay indoors with a good book. I was tempted to say no, but in the end I grinned and said yes. As much as I’d want to, I just can’t say no to my best buddy.
We agreed on a course of action and I hung up the phone. Then I felt even more discouraged when I saw my second phone still laying on the sofa. I took it and read the address and phone number of the owner’s mom. Wow, you’re correct! I dialed the number manually on my own cell phone. The phone would work this way, at least.
The phone made a brief ringing sound. Just as I was going to leave a message, a tired voice came over the intercom.
