Crystal: Not really, didn't prepare much. I'd just play it for ear and see how it goes.
Vanessa: Hey wanna catch up for a drink after work?
Tiff: I might not be able to make it. I might have to work overtime tonight. Let's just play it by ear.
Victor: Same here. Not sure what time my meeting ends. Guess I'd play it by ear too.
We'd see.
