There was once a girl who rang to talk to me. I think it was last year. Or the year before. I wasn't at home. I think I was away for the weekend or something. The conversation went somthing like this: Jo answered the phone and the girl said "Is Tom there?" and Jo said "No" and she said "Ok, bye."

And that was it. We never found out who she was. I thought she might call back but she didn't. I decided there was a good chance it was the girl of my dreams. Chances are it was nothing important. But there was always the possibility it was a chance at true love.

Now that I think about it though, it couldn't have been the girl of my dreams. It was probably just one of my many admirers. The girl of my dreams would call back, or at least leave a message.
