"What's five minutes of a call, huh? Or even a minute if you can't even spare five minutes for your friend."

"I'm really sorry," I sincerely pleaded, putting my hands together and bowing my head. "Forgive me this once, please? And hey, aren't you going to ask how I'm doing first? Why are you nagging me already?"
