| Amy: I heard you have a new girlfriend. Nick: That’s right. Her name is Vicky. We’ve been together for about 2 months now, and I think it is getting pretty serious. Amy: That’s great. How did you meet her? Nick: We met at a party. We were both waiting in line to use the restroom, and we just started talking. We hit it off with each other immediately. Amy: That sounds exactly like how I met my husband. We met in line at the store. The line at the store was extremely long, and we started to chat. I hit it off with him right away and the rest is history. Nick: That’s cute. I guess we are both lucky that we met great people in such a random way. Amy: I agree. Well, I can’t wait to meet Vicky. Let me know if you and Vicky ever want to go on a double date with my husband and me. Nick: That sounds fun. I’ll talk to Vicky and let you know. | |
