I don’t usually answer my phone if I don’t recognise the number, but this time I feel I ought to. A mistake, of course …
I am staring at my computer, mouth ajar, when my phone rings. The call is from an unknown mobile number, which I would not normally answer, but I’ve just emailed someone requesting an interview, with my own phone number appended to the bottom, and I’m hoping this might be them. I’m also hoping it might not be them.
“Hello?” I say.
