I aren't going to be able to make it to your dinner party
tomorrow night.

had told me about it a couple of weeks ago, but it slipped
my mind.

duck with olives and couscous. I already bought the duck.

I'm the biggest flake!

dinner at our place next Saturday.
Erica: Okay, that sounds good ... oh, I just remembered. Alex's
parents are visiting for the weekend.
Mar: Bring them along too. The more the merrier!
Erica: I'd better check with Alex. I'11 call you later today to confirm.
