WRITING OBSTACLE
Write a difficult conversation between two characters without using any dialogue tags.
Dialogue tags describe the speech - 'he whispered', 'she murmered', 'they said' etc. Removing these indicators will encourage you to make the dialogue speak for itself, instead of relying on tags to describe and clarify the intent behind the words.

“I can see it in your eyes Steve, you don’t look at me the same as you used to, you’re barely ever home and when you are, you’re still somewhere else.”
His eyes fell to the floor too ashamed to meet hers
“Steve…do you even love me still?
There was a heavy silence, both of them new the answer, even though a word never left his lips.
