ESL Podcast 859 – Attending an Ex’s Wedding

 　　Andy: What did you do last weekend?

 

　　Yuka: I went to Jamal’s wedding.

 

　　Andy: Jamal?! Your ex Jamal?

 

　　Yuka: Yes, that Jamal.

 

　　Andy: He had the nerve to invite you to his wedding?

 

　　Yuka: I actually thought it was nice of him to invite me. Whatever happened between us years ago is water under the bridge. There are no hard feelings on either side.

 

　　Andy: You told me that the breakup was mutual¹, but I always thought you still had a soft place in your heart for him.

 

　　Yuka: The truth is, when we first broke up, I did harbor some hopes of the two of us getting back together, but that never came to pass. We both moved on and I wish him well.

 

　　Andy: Well, how was the wedding?

 

　　Yuka: It was very nice and Jamal’s new wife seems to be a good match for him.

 

　　Andy: And you didn’t mind seeing them together?

 

　　Yuka: Not at all, especially after I met Lorenzo.

 

　　Andy: Lorenzo, huh? You’ve been holding out on me. Do tell!
