I thought he wasn't really (8) .............(interest) in seeing me again. So I was (9) .............(amaze) when the airline phoned to ask if I wantedto call Leo. I was so (10) ............(excite) that I phoned him that evening, and soon we had our first date. Now we're married and we're very happy together.’
