I heard some disturbing rumors today.
gpt
What kind of rumors?
human
There's talk of a scandal that might break out involving one of the senator's aides.
gpt
Oh no, that doesn't sound good. What kind of scandal?
human
Apparently, the aide was caught in a compromising position with a member of the opposite party.
gpt
That's certainly not good news for the senator.
human
I know. If this gets out, it could ruin his reputation. And to make matters worse, I think I might be partially to blame.
gpt
What do you mean?
human
Well, I've been hearing whispers about this for a while now, and I didn't say anything. I should have gone to the senator and told him what was going on.
gpt
Hmm, I can understand why you feel that way. But it's not entirely your fault either.
human
I know, but I still feel guilty about it. I just hope that this all blows over soon and the senator's reputation isn't tarnished.
gpt
Me too. But if it does come out, I'm sure the senator will handle it appropriately.
human
I hope so. This whole situation just makes me so nervous.
gpt
Well, let's try not to worry too much about it for now. Is there anything we can do to take your mind off things?
human
Actually, I was thinking we could go out for a nice dinner tonight. Just the two of us.
gpt
Sounds like a great idea. Where do you want to go?
human
How about that Italian place we went to a couple of years ago? Remember how good the pasta was there?
gpt
Of course I do. Let's make a reservation right away.
