The Breakup

Lucy is leaving for a date. Her granddaughter Lin is watching TV.

Lin: Say hello to Sam for me!
Lucy: It will be a short dinner. I’m going to break up with him.
Lin: What? You spend to much time together!
Lucy: That’s the problem! He wants to  see me every day. But I want to be alone more often.

At the cafe, Lucy finds her boyfriend, Sam.

Sam: Hi, my love.
Lucy: We need to talk.
Sam: Before you say anything else, you should know that I really like you.
Lucy: I really like you too.
Sam: But we should break up.
Lucy: You’re braking up with me?
Sam: I have to move to Barcelona for work. And I can only see you a few times a year.
Lucy: That’s perfect!
Sam: It is?
Lucy: I wanted to break up with you because I need more independence. But now that’s not a problem.
Sam: So… we’re staying together?
Lucy: Yes! When are you leaving?
Sam: Saturday.
Lucy: Great! I’ll drive you to the airport!
