Relationships
Renata walks into the restaurant. She sees her boyfriend Diego sitting at a table
near the window and smiles. He sees her and gets up. They hug and sit down. They
call the waiter and order two glasses of wine. He looks nervous and begins to talk.
“Look, I know this is awkward but let me…” but Renata interrupts him.
“You don’t have to tell me. I know how you feel. I was so excited when you called to
invite me to lunch. I have missed you too. Not seeing each other for a couple of
months was the best thing for our relationship. I realize now that you are the one
for me. Let’s forget the past. Things will be different from now on, I promise you.”
Diego takes a deep breath and takes a sip of wine. “Actually, I invited you to lunch
because I didn’t want to tell you over the phone. I’m sorry but I’ve met someone
else”.
