Why do you feel that would be a trap door for her?

she says, "I was worried sick that something had happened to you and you don't even have the manners to return my call."

Choices:

You say, "You were worried?".

or

You apologize for not being at her beck and call even though she left you, etc?

or

You say nothing. Frozen deer in headlights.

or

You say something to defend yourself.

Think about it.

The first is strong Kung Fu. Your advesary is attacking, do you scrunch up in a ball or use their momentum against them?

Not that you are fighting or anything

Gives her a chance to open up to you in the first case. In the second case, you shut her down and take responsibility for her feelings with an apology that doesn't really make any sense, and it's hard to respect too.
