Use these bare bones of dialogue to create a scene between two people. Add setting, character, action and emotion to fill in the gaps:
“I’m so glad you made it.”
“How many people did you tell?”
“Why?”
“I was followed. I'm asking you again. How many people did you tell?”
“Just Terry. Just one.”
“One too many.”
Heather Wright's work has been published in local and national
