*recoils even more, as though you had just slapped him* *shakes his head too, numbly, unconsciously mirroring your gesture* No, we haven't. We definitely haven't. *runs his hand through his hair and looks around dazedly* We haven't talked in a few days. We definitely haven't fallen out. When would we have? *almost desperately (disbelievingly)* We haven't talked.
*and then he hears his own words (we haven't talked)* Oh, I need to talk to him. *reaches into his jeans pocket for his phone before remembering, oh yes, he doesn't know where it is* *a bit meekly* Have you seen my phone?
