B: Tad, I'm pretty hungry right now. Want to walk over and check out the food table?
A: Julie, do you know who that woman is over there by the window?
B: That is Mary. I heard that she's just moved in with Lee.
A: I thought that he was with Malia.
B: Oh, that relationship is history. Malia hooked up with a guy she met on holiday.
A: I bet that Lee wasn't too happy with that!
B: Actually, he was OK with it. They hadn't been getting along too well.

A: Hi Julie, how have things been going for you?
B: I'm good, Tad. How are things with you?
A: Things couldn't be better right now.
B: Boy, that's quite a spread over on the food table! Let's go check out the party food.
A: Julie, who is the woman sitting next to Lee on the sofa?
B: Someone told me her name is Mary. Supposedly, she and Lee are living together in Lee's apartment.
A: What about his relationship with Malia?
B: Malia is no longer in the picture. She moved to Australia to be with a guy she met on vacation.
A: How did Lee feel about that happening?
B: He took it pretty well. I think that he had kind of had his eye on Mary for a while.
