Elizabeth: Hello sweetheart
Scott: Hi Mum :)
Elizabeth: I just wanted to check what time you will be arriving on Friday
Elizabeth: so we can come pick you up at the bus station
Scott: oh Mum I forgot to let you and Dad know
Scott: I have to work a longer shift on Friday :(
Scott: I can't switch with anyone
Scott: so I'm catching the bus on Saturday morning instead
Elizabeth: oh no!
Elizabeth: I was hoping you would be here for your brother's recital
Scott: I'm sorry :(
Scott: a whole bunch of people got sick so I'm picking up longer shifts this week
Elizabeth: the most important thing is that you are able to come home for the holidays
Elizabeth: please send me what time you'll arrive and we'll meet you
Scott: Thanks Mum, love you <3
Elizabeth: I love you too dear :-*
Scott will arrive on Saturday and will miss his brother's recital on Friday.
