 A:     ... so, I said, ”let’s take a break .” And since that
        night,  I’ve  been  waiting  for  him  to  call,  but  I  still
        haven’t heard from him.  You don’t think he’s see-
        ing someone else, do you?

 B:    Come on,  don’t be so dramatic¹! I’m sure every-
       thing is going to work out just fine.

 A:     You think so? Oh, no! How can he do this to me?
        I’m sure he’s cheating on me!  Why else wouldn’t
        he call?

 B:     But, you two are on a break. Theoretically² he can
       do whatever he likes.

 A:     He’s the love of my life! I’ve really messed this up.

 B:    Come on, hon. Pull yourself together. It’s going to
        be alright.
 A:     But I...  I still love him!  And it’s all my fault!  I can’t
       believe how immature³ and selfish⁴ I was being.                              

       I mean,  he  is  a  firefighter⁵,  it’s  not  like  he  can  just
       leave someone in a burning building and meet me
       for dinner. I’ve totally messed this up!

 B:    You know what, Veronica, I think you should make
       the first step. I’m sure he’ll forgive you...

 A:     No, this is not gonna happen! I... I’ve ruined ev-
       erything....

 B:    Hey...  do you hear something?  Guess what?  It’s
       your lovely firefighter!

 C:    When  I  had  you, I  treated  you  bad  and  wrong
       dear. And since, since you went away, don’t you
        know I sit around with my head hanging down and
        I wonder who’s loving you.
