• Hey, you gotta minute to talk?
• What's the matter?
• The thing is I had a university reunion yesterday.
• Uh, I think you mentioned it before.
• Did I? Anyway, it's been quite some time... about 10years since I graduated from university.
• Yeah, it has been about that long.
• I heard some stinging words, and it had been a long time since we all met, but all of them were the same.
• Isn't that the way things always are?
• I suppose so. I felt really weird- like time had slipped away...and I drank more than I usually do.
• I know what happened next. You always take things too seriously.
• Please don't say that. I'm so depressed. Well, maybe you already know, but I got drunk last night and woke up with someone I didn't know. Actually, not someone I didn't know-someone I used to know.
• You should stop drinking like that!
• But...I was so lonely.
• If you are lonely, call me! Don't go with someone else!
• What...what do you mean?
• You know what I mean.
• You're my friend and you care about me?
• That's not it! I've cared about you ever since I first met you.
• Seriously?!
• Sure! So, from now on, just be my girl.
• Oh, I'm so happy!
