Really?!?!

I pick up the vibrating cell phone on my desk and see that it's Troy.

Me: Hi!

Troy: (in sad voice) Hello. Guess what.

Me: (in an equally sad, but worried voice) What?

Troy: (after a short pause) I'm getting another call. I'll have to call you back. Love you, bye.

Me: (holding the phone in front of me looking at the blank screen) Really?!?!

Am I a patient woman or what?
