Kenji:Hey, did Steve tell you about the article he had published in a magazine?

Mark:No. I haven't really seen Steve lately.

Kenji:Are you two still not talking to each other? I thought you guys would have made up by now.

Mark:Well... I've been meaning to call him, but I keep putting it off.

Kenji:I think you should just bite the bullet and call him. It'll work out fine, you'll see.

Mark:Yeah, you're right. Maybe I'll call him tomorrow.
