Ethan: Hey Lily, what should we make for dinner tonight?

Lily: I was thinking tacos. We haven’t had them in ages.

Ethan: Tacos sound great. Do we have any tortillas left?

Lily: No, we’re out. And we need avocados for guacamole, too.

Ethan: Okay, I’ll stop at the store on my way home from work.

Lily: Could you also grab some cheese and a bag of rice?

Ethan: Sure. Should we invite David over? He just moved in across the hall.

Lily: That’s a nice idea. I’ll text him. Dinner at seven?

Ethan: Seven works. I’ll be home by six to help you cook.

Lily: Perfect. Oh, and don’t forget — I’m making dessert, so skip the ice cream.
