Jeff and Amanda make plans
Jeff: Hello?
Amanda: Hey, Jeff, it's Amanda. I hope I'm not
you at a bad time.
Jeff: Not at all, I was just
to leave the office. What's up?
Amanda: Well, I've had one of those weeks, and I could really
with a night out. I was wondering
you'd
grabbing a bite to eat tonight.
Jeff: Tonight? Oh, I'd love to, but I've already
my sister I'd help her move some
furniture. She's been
it
for weeks.
Amanda: Oh, that's a shame. How long do you think it'll take?
Jeff: her, probably longer than it should! But if we get started straight
, I should be done by eight. Would that be too late for you?
Amanda: No, eight's fine. To be honest, I'd
eat a bit later anyway. Have you got anywhere in mind?
Jeff: I was actually going to suggest that Korean place on Third Avenue. Everyone's been
about it.
Amanda: you should say that, a colleague of mine went there last week. Apparently, the food's amazing, but she said you can
hear yourself think. I'm not sure I'm
for somewhere that loud tonight.
Jeff: enough. What sort of atmosphere are you
, then?
Amanda: Somewhere quiet, where we can actually have a proper conversation. Do you remember that little Italian restaurant on the corner of Oak Street, the one with the terrace?
Jeff: Mario's? We went there for your birthday, didn't we? I'd
all about it. It's a bit on the
side, though.
Amanda: It is, but it's been such a long week that I think I deserve a
. And it's my turn to pay, remember? You got the bill last time.
Jeff: Well, if you insist, I'm not going to argue!
you, it's Friday night, so it's
to be
packed. We'd
book, just in case.
Amanda: Good point. I'll give them a
as soon as we
up. Shall I ask for a table on the terrace, or is it going to be too
chilly?
Jeff: They've got
heaters out there, if I remember rightly. But let's
it by
. Inside would be fine too.
Amanda: OK. And how are you getting there? Your sister lives out of town, doesn't she?
Jeff: She does, and I'm not taking the car because I'll probably be exhausted. I was thinking of getting a taxi straight from hers.
Amanda: Don't be silly, I can
by and pick you up on my way. It's
a
detour.
Jeff: Are you sure? That would be a real help. I'll text you her address.
Amanda: Perfect. And if you're
late, just let me know and I'll
the booking
.
Jeff: Will do. Thanks, Amanda, I'm really
forward to it. It's been
since we've had a proper
.
Amanda: Me too. Right, I'll let you get on. Good luck with the furniture!
Jeff: Thanks, I'll need it! See you later.
