Phrension

The tense uncertainty you feel when the person you’re talking to picks up their phone, and you’re left wondering whether they’re still listening or have quietly checked out.

“I was mid-story when she grabbed her phone, and I was suddenly stuck in full phrension — do I keep going or stop and wait?”
