Заполненный текст:

It was June, 2011. Sophie Wilson, a lawyer, got an ununexpected phone call at work. It was a brilliant job offer in London. There was just one problem: Sophie lived in Glasgow. It was ununfortunate but Sophie had to move – away from all her family and friends.

Two months later, Sophie was spending another Saturday alone in London. She had some new friends but many were married with children. She decided to join a dating website and started looking at profiles. Soon, she saw someone interesting. His name was Neil. Sophie sent him an email.

On Sunday morning, Sophie got two emails. The first was an invitation to a barbecue on Sunday afternoon from a new colleague. The second was from Neil. He sounded friendly and sent his mobile number. Sophie didn't reply but she decided to go to the barbecue.

At the barbecue, Sophie was talking to her friend about the website and Neil. "Text him!" her friend said. "Maybe tomorrow," Sophie said. "Do it now!" her friend said.

So Sophie did. A few seconds later she heard a mobile phone behind her. She turned round and saw a man. He was sending a text. He finished and put his phone in his pocket. Then Sophie's phone made a noise. It was a text from Neil. 'I'm at a barbecue. Can I phone you later?' the text said. That's a 3rd strange coincidence, thought Sophie. "Of course," she texted back. "I'm at a barbecue too!" A minute later, she again heard a noise from the man's phone. Then Sophie realised. It was incredible but, in a city of eight million people, they were at the same barbecue!

This wasn't the only 5th amazing coincidence for Sophie and Neil. First, he was a lawyer too. Second, he moved to London in August. And he joined the dating website on Saturday too. Sophie was the first person to contact him. She was also the last. About a year later Sophie and Neil got married!
