Husband: I may be transferred to Osaka next spring.

Wife: What, that's sudden. Can't you refuse?

Husband: It isn't that I can't refuse, but if I did, promotion would become difficult.

Wife: But the children start secondary school next year. It seems a shame to make them change schools.

Husband: Yes. So one option is for me to go on my own.

Wife: That has its own problems. We'd pay living costs twice over, and on your own you'd eat badly.

Husband: True. They say I'd be back in three years, but there's no guarantee of that either.

Wife: For now, why not wait until the length is clear? You can't know what the company will do until it's settled.
