Looks as if we are at a place we can take a break. Any issue with

Im going to need a quick break. Should we reconvene here in ten

Thanks for bringing this matter to my attention. I want to respond

From your tone, this conversation sounds like I need to clear my
calendar so we can have uninterrupted time. Can you come back this
afternoon at three?
