"Our phones are like landlines in our house. Anyone can answer any phone. There's no secret to receiving calls. At some point, our gadgets were lookalikes; they were mistakenly swapped at home during a morning rush. Then we ended up with each other's phone. 🤣 We took messages and explained where it was necessary. I must say it was funny and romantic at the same time, but shocking to others."
