迷你對(duì)話：

A:Okay, can I ask you something direct?

B:Ha! It's not like you've ever been one to beat around the bush.

A:Fair enough. Give it to me straight. Did she bully you into this?

B:No, seriously . . . I really want this.

A:I tell ya, when I got the invite, it really threw me for a loop. You've done a complete 180.

B:I know. But things have changed. I guess I've settled down.

A : I guess so.
