Answer 1

Bill: Where did you grow up, Bob?

Bob: I grew up in a small town in northern California. Close to San Francisco.

Bill: Oh wow. Was it nice?

Bill: Sounds good!

Bob: It was, for a while. I moved to New York with her, and got a new job selling computer systems here. We lived together in Brooklyn. We were happily in love for a couple of years. After we broke up, I just stayed.

Bill: Why did you break up?

Bob: Well, it’s a long story. What happened was…
