But I kept my promise (48) {#blank#}3{#/blank#}I didn't want to make my friend disappointed. As it turned out, we had such a good time that I stayed{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (long) than I had planned and really saw how much the occasion meant to my friend. We{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (share) a lot of news, and it felt like we had never had such a long break.
