I never did call H yesterday. Spoke with H this morning. He said he was concerned. I pointed out if he was that concerned he could have phoned me yesterday. H said he was “feeling me out” by text. Whatever.
No, no, NO!!! Supplicating and needy.
Better: "Spoke with H this morning. He said he was concerned. I said "We're fine, don't worry about us! Look, I hate to cut you off, but I was just running out. We'll have to catch up later -- bye!"
