Glad I didn't keep you waiting too long then
As Beth waits for BoardinPhoenix to arrive, she starts to feel increasingly anxious and unsure about the date.
Hey, sorry I'm running a bit late. Had a last-minute meeting at work

disappointed Aw, come on! The jazz club was supposed to be the highlight of the night!
Sorry to let you down. Maybe we can reschedule soon

I like the way you think! Any ideas for new places we could check out?
