Today (as of writing this, not publishing it), I brought pizza to a friend's house.
I called ahead to let him know I was bringing pizza. Then I discussed it with him on Facebook. All was jolly and fine, and he bid me a good day.
And then I showed up with the pizza, and he met me at the door with this bewildered look of wonderment on his face and stared and said, "...you actually brought pizza."
"I called ahead. I told you I was bringing pizza."
"Yes, but I didn't think...why would you bring me pizza?"
I'd made a promise, but it hadn't quite sunk through.
Your character makes a promise. Why does the person not believe them? What will it take before they trust?
