Dialogue Between two Lovers

Amanda sat in the dark room as the rain beat heavily against the window. It was three o'clock in the afternoon and Robert was not home yet.
"Oh, Robert, not home yet?" she said as she stared blankly into the closet.
"Did you get caught in the rain, couldn't find a ride home and decided not to walk?"
A crash of lightning shook Amanda as she wrapped the blankets around her shoulders. Just then she heard the lock unlatch and heard the front door open. The rain got slightly louder, then bang, the door closed. Robert walked into the room, threw down his keys and his wet trench coat and let out an annoyed sigh.
"Yes, I'm awake, " says Amanda, "and, no, I didn't clean today."
"Well, I can see that, Amanda, so when exactlty are you going to get out of bed?" asked Robert.
"Never. I'm never, ever, ever, ever going to leave this bed, not untill you apologize," Amanda cried.
"Apologize? Apologize for what?" said Robert.
Amanda could feel her heart breaking again.
"Splenda was a good cat!"Amanda says sniffling.
"She was, but she ran away," Robert huffed.
"You locked her out! Someone took her or she's dead!" screamed Amanda.
"You don't know that," said Robert.
"It's been raining for an entire week! She probably drowned in a sewer by now!"
Robert sighs again and says, "Well if she did then she's in a better place."
Amanda rips off her covers and throws a pillow at Robert's head and then yells, "Oh, and this is just a joke to you, well it's not funny! You didn't love that cat the way I did, that cat was my baby!"
Amanda threw her face into her pillows and began to sob uncontrollably as she yelled Splenda's name.
Robert looked at the ceiling, scratched his head, and looked at his watch.
"Babe, I'm sorry. I didn't know she wasn't in the house, okay?"
