Small Talk. 12. Gossiping

A: Hi Julie, how are things going?

B: Everything is great, Tad. How are you?

A: I'm doing really well.

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.
