What’s the cost of letting the call go to voicemail? Of ignoring the PING or vibration of your phone? Of putting your device on ‘Do Not Disturb’?
What would it be like to enjoy an entire conversation with your partner without turning your attention away?

You don’t need to be reachable just because someone is trying to reach you.
There are exceptions, of course. You could be expecting a call; you could have a meeting scheduled; you could be waiting on important news, etc.
