Eavesdropped Conversation

Imagine a character overhearing a conversation about themselves. Write that dialogue.

What might a character deduce from a conversation they weren’t meant to hear? This prompt encourages the creation of dialogue filled with subtext and nuances. How do the speakers discuss the character in their absence? Does the overheard conversation confirm, challenge, or shatter their self-perception? Remember, what isn’t said can be just as telling as what is spoken.
