N: Hi, Sam. Here are the keys to my room. S: Oh, do you need help moving out? N: No, it’s OK. I’ve already packed everything. S: Oh. OK. What time are you heading out? Maybe I could cook something for you before you leave. N: That’s really nice of you, but I’m leaving soon. So I think I’ll have to grab something at the airport. I’m definitely going to miss the food here. S: If you ever find yourself back in Europe, you can always make a stop in Greece. N: Yes. I surely will. There’s no way I can pass up an opportunity to return. I’ve really adapted to the lifestyle here. I don’t know how I’ll readjust to my country. S: You will get used to things again after a while. N: Yeah, maybe. If not, that just means I’ll have to move back here and find another job. S: You would be most welcome to! You could even live here until you find a place of your own. N: That sounds almost too good to be true. I’ll see how it is being home first. I’m definitely going to come visit again anyway. S: Please do! N: Looks like my taxi is here. It’s time for me to go.
