I decided to set up a meeting with my friends so we could catch up. As I was driving to their house, I received a call from my brother asking me to pick him up on the way. I agreed and told him to be ready when I drop in. After picking him up, we headed to our friends' house, where we all decided to go on a last-minute trip to get away from the city for a few days. During the trip, one of our friends mentioned that he needed to drop out of the upcoming project due to personal reasons. Despite this setback, we all agreed to keep on enjoying our time together and getting on with our activities. As we got on the highway to head back home, we reminisced about the fun trip and planned to do it again soon.
