history: I was hoping that my friend could make it to a special concert, but she cancelled on me last minute. I wish my friend didn't cancel on me last minute_comma_ I was really hoping she could go with me to that special concert.
current: That's a shame. Is there someone else who can go with you? I'm available. LOL
next: Thanks for the offer! Yeah, she just unexpectedly told me that she had a work obligation to attend instead.
