Someone Else
I listened to her talking, but something was off. Her voice was the same, but the way she talked…it wasn’t like her
“-and yeah, so could you please come. Soon? Like, right now?”
That wasn’t like her. She would have said something like “Could you please come as soon as possible?” But not that. I decided to ask her a question. “When did we meet? And do we want to marry, it yes, when?” The voice on the other side hesitated. “Why do you want to know?” “Just tell me.” “…ok. We met on the 4.8.2022. We want to marry on the 6.9.2025”
I listened. I knew it wasn’t my girlfriend from the beginning. “The marrying part is right”, i started, “but me and my girlfriend met on the 6.2.2022.”
But who is the person on the other side of the phone?
