W: Hi, Kevin.
M: Hi, Lora. Long time no see. Where have you been up to lately?
W: Not much I can assure you, and you?
M: Much the same except I do have some big news.
W: Come on, the suspenseis killing me.
M: No, really. What have you been doing these past few weeks? (1)________________
W: Well, that's not exactly true. I was thinking about changing jobs. Luckily, they offered me a new position in the accounting department.
M: A step-up in the big business world.
W: I wouldn't exaggerate, but I'm pleased. I had been hoping to get a promotion for a while. So when it finally came through, I was relieved.
Actually, that's why I was looking for a new job. I just didn't want to work there anymore. They weren’t going to recognizemy efforts.
M: Right, (2)________________ I hope the money is better.
W: I got a reasonable raise. Now, enough about me. I’m dying to hear your news.
M: I'm getting married.
W: No! You say you’d never get married.
M: That was then, and this is now. You’ve got to met Angela, she’s great.
W: This is all news to me. I didn't even know you were dating.
M: We weren’t. (3)________________
W: And you're getting married?
M: I know. I can't help it. I just know she is the one.
W: Well, congratulations! That’s fantastic.
M: Thanks. I’m glad to hear you feel that way.
