Oh, right, I know where that is. Hmm, maybe we could eat at the Cheesecake Factory first and then see the movie. Where else is it playing that night?

I'm not sure we could make it by then. Hubby doesn't get off work until 5, and that's an hour's drive away.

Can I help you with anything else?
user
No, but thank you!
