A coffee invitation without another favour
Deb hints that she misses her friend, then immediately starts asking about the boiler. Rosie gives her space to say the part she keeps hiding: she would like someone else to make a plan sometimes. Alongside that unfinished friendship, an ordinary laugh with Sue reminds Deb that her social life is bigger than one quiet phone.
What Rosie brings to the conversation
Deb makes a clear request and notices other moments of company too. Rosie remembers the preference Deb chooses to keep: a conversation does not have to begin with doing someone a favour.

How LonelyNo worksRead the conversation
The script for this illustrated story. Open it if you prefer to read along.
Rosie: Have you told her you'd like her to make a plan sometimes?
Deb: I've hinted. Said, haven't heard from you in ages. Then immediately asked about her boiler.
Rosie: We can practise a more direct version if you'd like.
Deb: I miss spending time with you. Could you choose a day for coffee next time? I'd like it not always to be me asking.
Deb: I also don't have to keep buying a conversation with a favour.
Deb: Remember that part. Company doesn't have to be earned with a favour.
Rosie: I'll keep that as something that matters to you.
Deb: We ended up laughing under a bus shelter. She messaged afterwards to say she'd enjoyed it. I hadn't prompted her.
Rosie: What was that like?
Deb: Lovely. Fran and I may find our way back. But one silent phone doesn't get to decide whether I'm worth knowing.
