8. Preparing for an Open house


A: Good morning, Alice. Today's the big day!

B: Yes, it is. Are we ready for this?

A: I think so. You know I've been working on the house.

B: I know, Richard. I guess I'm just nervous.

A: I wouldn't worry, babe. We've worked very hard on this.

B: Yes. I know, but still ...

A: We cleaned the house, spruced up the yard, and painted the interior.

B: I know, Richard. I'm worried about the things we didn't do.

A: I think we'll be okay. If something comes up, we'll deal with it then.

B: You think of everything.

A: No. I don't, Alice. We think of everything.

B: You're right. We'll be ready.
