10 - He Stopped Writing Emails

Jane: Do you mean they have lived together for half a year?

They must be boyfriend and girlfriend.

Paul: I have no idea.

When did your brother stop writing to you?

Jane: It has only been a few weeks since he stopped writing.

Paul: You see?

It is not because of this girl that he stopped writing emails to you.

Jane: That is true, I guess.

He wrote me regularly until a few weeks ago.

So why did he stop then?

Paul: Well, let's try to figure out what happened.

How often did he email you?

Jane: That is hard to say.

He wrote quite often.

Paul: Did you always answer him?

Jane: I would always try to answer him as soon as possible.

Paul: But how many times did you not answer him?

Jane: It depended on how much work I had to do.

Paul: You always wrote by email?

Jane: Yes, we kept in touch by email.

I did not need to know where he lived.

Paul: How many emails did you get from him every month?

Jane: I got lots of email every month.

I was always excited to get his emails.

Paul: Why did you not try to visit him before?

Jane: I was busy.

Besides, I thought he was still away at school.
