Saying goodbye 道别
A:It’s been a real pleasure chatting with you.
B: Yeah, you too. I like catching up with old friends and stuff.
A: Likewise. But to be honest, I kind of have to go now.
B: Why? Do you have to be somewhere? I wanted to ask you to go grab a couple of drinks with me or maybe even dinner.
A: Yeah, I’m supposed to pick up my kid at 4 and I’m already running a bit late. Rain check? I really gotta run now.
B: Cool. I totally understand. Go do whatever you have to do. I’ll see you soon. Let’s not wait another 6 months to hang out together.
A: Sure thing. Keep in touch and take care.
