Kathy:Great! Sorry John. I'm calling you to cancel our appointment this afternoon. I've got to pick up my parents at the airport. They just decided that they will come today.
John:That's fine. These things happen. Would you like to reschedule?
Kathy:Sure, how about tomorrow at noon?
John:That doesn't work for me. But after six tomorrow, I'm free.
Kathy:Same here. How about we meet at your office at 6 p.m. tomorrow? If you want to, we can go for a drink after we get done.
John:I would love to.
