1.When I came home, Kitty was already there. She was on the phone
and didn't see me enter. I didn’t mean to overhear her conversation but
she was speaking loudly:
2.“No, I don’t think a house party is a good idea. Nick (hates parties.
3.A picnic or barbeque on the beach would be much better.
4.I understood that she was talking about me and smiled. Then I realized that I forgot about my own birthday!
5.However, Kitty was fond of all kinds of celebrations and never missed anything. A barbeque on the beach sounded like a good plan to me too.
6.“Yes, I ordered the cake, don’t worry,” Kitty continued.
7.“I wish I can't make it myself but there’s no time for that.
8.Anyway,
they promised to make a large cake, to decorate it with chocolate and
to write Happy Birthday on the top. I think Nick will like it. Do you
think the same?”
9.The answer on the other side of the line was obviously positive and Kitty will goes on chatting happily about the other arrangements.
