Melly
Nothing in particular. Why do you ask?
Anna
How about a girls' night out?
Melly
Oh, sounds good! So what can you suggest?
Anna
We can visit my favorite club, the "Nightlife". They have fabulous music, and it's never crowded, so it's easy to get in.
Melly
That's nice. Meanwhile, there's always a long wait outside my favorite club. I like it because it's always packed.
Anna
Why do you think it's so popular?
Melly
Well, it just opened a few months ago, everything is brand new and modish, and lots of classy people go there. It's called Casa Corazon.
Anna
Oh, right! It's the newest "in" place. I heard the reason people go there is just to be seen.
Melly
Exactly! And of course they want to enjoy the ambiance and the feeling of exclusivity.
In order to get a seat, it's necessary to make a reservation at least three business days ahead.
Anna
Really? No wonder it's easily one of the most sought after clubs these days. How about the drinks?
Melly
Well, prices are very reasonable and the bartender makes the perfect mix of cocktails that will always quench your thirst.
Anna
Sounds exciting! Shall we go there instead? What do you think?

I thought you'd never ask! I can also bring along some of my friends.
Anna
Sure, the more the merrier!
