Jay:Hi Alex! Me too. Long time no see.
Alex:Yes, it’s true. And your sister? I only see you guys once in a blue moon nowadays.
Jay:She’s fine. Still in love with George.
Alex:That’s great!
Jay:Not really, first he promised her the moon and then he left her.
Alex:Oh, no! So sorry to hear that!
Jay:Yeah, I want to punch him in the face!
Alex:Don’t be silly, nobody punches people in the face for that!
Jay:I would. And he’d be lucky to get away with only that. Many moons ago I would have started a duel for the amount of suffering he caused her.
Alex:You are funny! And that shows you love her to the moon and back!
Jay:I guess that’s true!
Alex:Anyways, wish she gets over it soon. Send her my love.
Jay:Will do. Nice to talk to you Alex!
Alex:You too! Bye now!
Jay:Bye!
