you did make sure you could see her from where you were dialling, right? that's the most important bit. whenever you call, it must be from a distance whereby you could conduct a face to face conversation if you wanted.

then, when she says 'I just wish you could be right here by my side now!', you can lean over and whisper 'I am', in her ear. Then she'll gasp, drop the phone and spin round to seize you in a heartfelt embrace. Seriously, this is the kind of thing girls dream about. It gives them something to rub in their friends' faces under the guise of polite conversation - 'oh you'll never guess what so-and-so did...!' etc. You'll be a HERO.
