Hi Beth,

Gary phoned me yesterday. He said ¹                         (I had a great time) in London. He asked me ²                                   (are you and Beth going to Chloe’s party) on Saturday, and I said yes. He said ³                          (I’ll definitely come), and he asked ⁴                         (where is she having it)? I told him she was having the party at a new pizza place in town, and I said ⁵                  (I’ll send you) a map. Gary also asked ⁶                      (what time does it start). I said ⁷               (I don’t know), but I told him ⁸                   (I can ask Chloe) at school.

Anyway, I thought I’d tell you all this because I know you like Gary a lot. So don’t worry − he’s going to be there!

See you there!
