　　Trina: No!

　　Adrienne: That was a pretty direct¹ answer. Why are you not excited? It's a holiday.

　　Trina: It's a holiday for people that have other people.

　　Adrienne: So, you're not happy because you don't have other people?

　　Trina: I have other people. I have my sister and my mom and my dad and my friends, but Valentine's day is more of a holiday for people that have a boyfriend² or a girlfriend, or a wife, or a husband, or children as opposed³ to being⁴ a single person with nobody to share it with.

　　Adrienne: But could you share it with your sister, or your mother, or your father?

　　Trina: I could. I could, and we do. We send each other gifts. We, well this year, I won't be with anybody, but I get to celebrate it with my sister this weekend.

　　Adrienne: Well, that sounds fun.

　　Trina: It is.

　　Adrienne: So what kinds of things have you done on Valentines day in the past?

　　Trina: Ah, gone out to dinner, gone to a movie, had dinner at my parents house, had dinner at my grandparent's house.

　　Adrienne: That's interesting. Why your grandparent's house?

　　Trina: It was their wedding⁵ anniversary⁶.

　　Adrienne: Wow! That's a great day to have a wedding anniversary.

　　Trina: It is and it was a lot of fun. I got to spend some of their last few years together having dinner with them.

　　Adrienne: That sounds lovely. So are you looking forward to maybe having a Valentine next year?

　　Trina: Maybe! We'll, see.
