Sylvie:<\/strong> I hear we were both in Italy last summer. It\u2019s so funny we didn\u2019t see each other!<\/p>\n\n

Basra:<\/strong> That\u2019s true! I [forget] *had forgotten*. Where did you stay?<\/p>\n\n

Sylvie:<\/strong> I stayed in this amazing hotel called the Bernini Palace. I [tour] *had toured* Italy before, but this was the best place yet! It was gorgeous and the service was amazing. Before we even got there, they [prepare] *had prepared* a special meal with all our favorite foods. As we ate dinner, we started talking about going for a drive. By the time we finished, they [park] *had parked* a limousine outside our room. Superb!<\/p>\n\n

Basra:<\/strong> Oh, I almost went to the Bernini Palace, too. But I [stay] *had stayed* there already so many times! So, I rented a suite at Palazzo Niccolini instead. We [rent] *had rented* a limousine as well, but it was a bit too small. So, we sailed on my yacht instead.<\/p>\n\n

Sylvie:<\/strong> Oh, I love sailing. But it\u2019s a bit boring just sitting on a boat. We went on a cruise around the coast and did so many things! I saw Celine Dion in concert. Of course, I [entertain] *had entertained* her earlier at one of my parties. By the time she left, the sun [rise] *had risen*!<\/p>\n\n

Basra:<\/strong> I\u2019m so surprised I didn\u2019t see you! Why didn\u2019t you invite me?<\/p>\n\n

Sylvie:<\/strong> Oh, I\u2019m sorry, Basra! I wanted to invite you, but I [misplace] *had misplaced* your phone number. Let\u2019s make plans to get together soon.<\/p>\n\n

Basra:<\/strong> Yes, let\u2019s! We can meet at my house. I just redecorated again... all the latest fashion ...<\/p>\n"]}
