He’s probably mad again, but, really, it wasn’t my fault…
things happen sometimes…
I had to work late…

I lost track of the time...
just an accident…
just a misunderstanding...
it couldn’t be helped.

Why won’t he pick up?
Probably a network issue! Great title!
Lots of excuses conjured up, maybe used once too often. You have an uncanny knack of creating tension with just 50 words!
