Dip

 I wiggled the power cord around, trying to find an angle to keep charging my phone properly. But every time I moved it, it caused the call to dip briefly.


"I just ... ink you need ... be more ... tive."


"Hun, I know that, but-"


"No, no ... about this! You ... ter or we're ..."


"Sorry, we're what?"


The groan of anger lasted past three dips.


"That's it, we're ..."


I kept fiddling with the cord, until I realised this dip was rather long, which was because the phone had run out of power and was off.


When I managed to call, she'd dipped, permanently.
