Natural speed and loud voice, please. Thank you in advance.
It was 8:30. Jackie and Dean had left Valentino's.
Nick and Talia already knew each other. They'd taken classes together in college.
My boyfriend and I had split up by the middle of the semester.
Dean and Jackie had left the restaurant by the time Nick and Talia ordered dessert.
By the time Talia studied for the exam with Nick, she had already broken up with her boyfriend.
Nick had decided not to ask Talia out as soon as he heard that she had a boyfriend.
