The weather is getting colder and colder. Emma realizes she needs to buy some clothes and decides to make a call to her friend Henry. She picks up her phone and dials his number. As the phone rings, she hesitates, wondering whether she should answer unknown calls because recently there have been a lot of spam and scam calls.

Hello? Henry answers the phone. Emma introduces herself and asks if Henry is available. He says he's walking his dog in the park. Emma asks if he is free tomorrow afternoon. Henry confirms he is free. Emma then shares her plan to go shopping and invites Henry to come along. She suggests going to Macy’s because there’s an anniversary sale going on this week. Henry thinks it sounds great and agrees to go with her.

Emma tells Henry she will pick him up and suggests meeting at 2 p.m. Henry agrees with the time. Emma then asks if Henry would like to have dinner together after shopping. Henry thinks it’s a good idea. Emma asks if he knows any good restaurants around Macy’s. Henry mentions a famous Japanese restaurant known for fresh sushi and sashimi. However, Emma hesitates due to the cold weather lately.

Instead, Henry suggests a steakhouse next to Macy’s. Emma asks if he has been there before. Henry says he has, several times, and that their steaks are quite good. Emma agrees and says it’s perfect—they will have steak for dinner after shopping. They confirm their plan and say goodbye, looking forward to seeing each other tomorrow.
