Transcript (read it after you answer)

Sophie: Hey, Mark, have you heard from Jenna? She’s been really down since her job loss.

Mark: Yeah, I talked to her yesterday. She’s feeling overwhelmed. I want to cheer her up.

Sophie: Same. Maybe we could visit her this weekend?

Mark: Good idea. I was thinking we could bring her favorite coffee and some snacks.

Sophie: She loves those cinnamon pastries from the café on Oak Street. I can grab some.

Mark: Perfect. I’ll get her a latte. Should we meet at her place Saturday morning?

Sophie: Yeah, maybe 10 a.m.? I’ll text her to make sure she’s free but keep it casual so she doesn’t feel pressured.

Mark: Smart. I also thought we could invite her for a walk in the park. Fresh air might help.

Sophie: Great idea. There’s a nice trail near her house. Should we bring anything else?

Mark: Maybe a small gift, like a journal. She loves writing to clear her mind.

Sophie: I’ll pick one up. Should we plan to stay for lunch?

Mark: Let’s play it by ear. If she’s up for it, we can order takeout.

Sophie: Sounds good. I’ll confirm with her today and let you know.

Mark: Thanks, Sophie. Let’s make sure she knows we’re here for her.

Sophie: Absolutely. See you Saturday, Mark.
