The context of the following conversation is Jan gave Bailey another chance to try out for the squad since she had been absent due to illness.:
Jan says Are you still interested in trying out for the squad?.
The friend responds Well yes, but I thought try outs were over..
Jan responds They are, but you were sick and couldn't make it. I thought we'd make an exception..
The friend responds I would really appreciate it..
Jan responds You're welcome. I'd heard only great things about your ability and wanted to find out if you were as good as people say..
The friend responds I'd be happy to prove that I am. When did you want to schedule the try out?.
