Simple Present (3)

The moment he crossed the doorstep, an old school friend comes up to Andrew, ......... to buy him a drink and tells him not to look so worried.
Andrew showed him the headlines: "Petrol prices rise again" — "But you haven't got a car" said his friend — "I know" retorted Andrew — "still it means everything ......... will go up in price, too."
Everyone in the pub looks ......... depressed at this remark and begins to think of all the price increases that will follow.
The ......... is palpable. Then suddenly the door bursts open and in walks our heroine, Sally looking like a drowned rat.
Most people in the pub think to themselves: "What a pretty girl" Andrew sees her as someone who is ......... and needs help.
He walks over to her and asks if she is ......... right.
For probably the first time in his life Andrew actually ......... his worry from himself to someone else.
And he mixes her a ......... drink to protect her from a possible cold.
The conversation went as follows: "I hear you live in this village, too" — "How do you .........?" asked Andrew.
But Sally changed the subject. "This drink tastes delicious. How did you make it?" — "I put a drop of ginger ale and a piece of lemon in the alcohol and then ......... thoroughly."
