   Adrienne: So, Trina, Monday is Valentine's day. Are you excited?

  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.
