Sarah: Hi Melanie, how are you? I haven’t seen you in a long time. We should really 1________ over coffee.

Melanie: Hi Sarah. I’ve got a bit of time now, if you want to 2________ one quickly now.

Sarah: Great idea. I need to get my 3________. Do you know the cafe on the corner?

Melanie: I know what you mean. I can’t 4________ without my coffee. But to be honest, the coffee there is a bit weak for my 5________. There’s a good place around the corner. My friend is a 6________ there.

Sarah: Ok, but it’s my 7________. What’s your 8_______ order these days… or perhaps you want something different?

Melanie: Sure, I usually go for an Americano with a 9________ of milk… although, I don’t drink 10_______ any more. I go for one of the milk 11________ instead.

Sarah: That sounds like it will hit the 12_______!
