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.
