Tom: Hey, Alex. My friend Anna just opened a cafe and is having a little get-together there. How about joining me? Alex: Huh? Oh, I'm not really in the mood to go out tonight. I think I'll just stay in and read or something. Tom: you sure? I just don't get why youd want to stay home all alone. Alex: Come on, you know me kind of a homebody Tom: Give me a break, Alex. You're no home It's Anna, isn't it? You don't really like her, right? Alex: Oh...well...she's smart, and creative, and everything...but she just seems kind of...I don't know...mean Tom: Oh, yeah, I used to think that, too. But then I realized that she's just really sarcastic. And you know, sometimes she can actually be kind of sweet. Alex: Maybe I should get to know her better. But not tonight... I'm pretty beat... Tom: OK. Well, swing by if you change your mind.
