history: I owe my friend a pretty big amount of money. I was supposed to pay this week but they said they will give me another month. Did not expect that at all. I owe my friend a pretty big amount of money. I was supposed to pay this week but they said they will give me another month. Did not expect that at all. I bet you're relieved!

current: I know, I am so surprised they gave me another month. I am thankful for his understanding.
next: Maybe when you pay him back, you can get him a little something extra to show your appreciation.
