Recover from awkward phone call with crush?

[StephanieJ123]

My crush from work phoned me so we could work on this report we both have to submit. I've never been really good talking on the phone though and I was a bit quiet. Like there was a few awkward silences.

What is the best way to recover from this? Should I say something like "sorry if i seemed quiet i was just concentrating really hard" or something?
