Hear the storyline. Kent was invited to dinner at Robert's house, but that night Kent's girlfriend had an accident.  Fortunately, she wasn't badly hurt.  However, she was shaken up.
Cathy: You didn't show up for dinner last night.  Robert was a little upset.
Kent: I know.  I'm awfully sorry.
Cathy: Why didn't you let him know you weren't coming?
Kent: I couldn't help it.  My girlfriend had an accident and was taken to the hospital.
Cathy: Oh, that's terrible.  Is she OK?
Kent: She wasn't hurt badly, but she was shaken up.
