Bonnie waited for Ivor's response, but he stayed quiet. She asked again, "Ivor, why aren't you saying anything? Did the call freeze?"

Ivor was at a loss, but her question gave him an idea. He could use the lousy connection as an excuse to hang up. Although it had been a while since he had seen his wife or heard her voice, he had to keep his whereabouts a secret.
