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”.
