Situation: Jane is talking to her friend, Lizzy, about her cousin who just came back from the UK.
Lizzy: Hi Jane!
Jane: Hello Lizzy!
Lizzy: How's it going?
Jane: Fine, thanks.
Lizzy: I see. Oh, who's that girl in your front door talking to your mom?
Jane: Oh, that's my cousin, Beth. She just came back from the UK.
She used to live in this neighborhood 7 years ago.
Lizzy: Wow. You must have missed her so much.
Jane: Yeah, and the good thing is she didn't change at all! Not a jot!
She's still the same cheerful and witty cousin that I used to play with!
Lizzy: That sounds wonderful! I hope I could meet her, too!
Jane: Of course! I'll introduce you to her later.
Lizzy: Great!
