Mr. Wheeler : She is an old friend. I met her on a plane ten years ago when I was traveling. We kept in touch for quite a while till I met you. It never occurred to me that she would write to me after ten years. There's nothing between us, honestly. We're just friends.
Mrs. Wheeler : I believe you. Why don't you bring her here? We can have dinner together. By the way, where is this "old place"?
