This is a good dialog to practice the past perfect.

Mary Alice: (Narrating.) Exactly one year had passed since the night Mike Delfino and Susan Mayer were supposed to become engaged. So when Mike took Susan to her favorite restaurant, she just knew he was going to pop the question.

Mike: (To Susan) What are you gonna have?

Mary Alice: And when he did...

Susan: The chicken.

Mary Alice: ... she'd be ready with her answer. But as the evening wore on, the moment Susan had been waiting for failed to materialize. And though many opportunities presented themselves, the question was never asked. Until the thought began to dawn on Susan that perhaps it never would.
