He whistled as he walked, a jaunty tune that seemed to bounce off the brick buildings. Sunlight warmed Leo's face as he imagined the surprise on his girlfriend's face. The diamond pendant would be spectacular against her skin. He'd been planning this for weeks. His pulse quickened. The cab that he had summoned turned the corner, his heart rate quickened as he fished for his phone.

The message popped up. "OMG. I'm so ready to see you! ;) "

Confusion clouded Leo’s face. He knew his girlfriend wasn't expecting anything that special. He was about to write back when he recognized the number. His best friend's wife. He felt like he could lift a car. β€œOh, crap,” he muttered, quickly typing, "Sorry, wrong number!" before turning off his phone to prevent future accidents.
