Ring!

Hello? Oh, hi. What? Oh, that's terrible... I'm so sorry for your loss. Yes, thanks for letting me know...

Well, that was the mother of my best friend growing up. Apparently he just died.

Oh, man, I'm sorry. Were you still close?

Actually, we hadn't spoken much in years. Except for a bit of business we had in common... We'd really grown apart.

Hmmm. So what happened to make you stop talking to each other?
