"...Hello?"
"Where are you right now?"
"In my car. I'm driving home from work."
"Are you alone?"
"I'm talking to you. You're in my car, so I'm not alone. Where have you been? I haven't heard from you in days."
"Hmpf. Well, maybe that's because I'm mad at you."
"At me!? Why?"
"You stood me up."
"No, I didn't."
"I waited for hours by the phone. I rearranged my schedule for you."
"When?"
"I told you to call me on Tuesday. I waited. Then I waited Wednesday. Then I waited Thursday. You never texted, not one excuse."
"You didn't text me, either!"
"AFTER you ditched me! I'm supposed to tell you every day to call me or you forget? I guess if you don't want to be my friend, this is the easiest way to let me down."
"I still want to be your friend."
"I've been forgiving you over and over, letting you back in my heart. I cried myself to sleep over this. Is it me or you that is broken?"
"You're breaking my heart."
"You broke mine on Tuesday."
"I have to get gas. I'll call you right back."
"Sure."

Story challenge:
Writing exposition is easy. In fact, a common mistake of young writers is the infamous infodump -- writing long paragraphs and pages that do nothing more than provide background and world-building for their story. It's much more difficult -- and much more…

This is a strangely insecure relationship -- and I know of far too many examples of relationships just like it.
