Although
I understand why are you so upset , I will make sure to make up for
this
one very soon . I am hoping that you will forgive me
although
you have always been an amazing friend and supportive too . Remember ,
last
time we spoke I advised you about my new project which is now going to be completed in the next couple of weeks .
However
, assignments at the
last
stage always come up with an issue and
this
is the situation my whole team has been facing for the
last
couple of days .
Therefore
, I got stuck and couldn't leave them in the middle of something they weren't able to execute well . Hope you would understand the situation . So , post-completion of my project , 2 weeks later let's make a weekend plan for 2 nights .

also
phenomenal . Do let me know your thoughts , I am waiting to hear from you . Your's loving , Maria
