How are the guests going to New York?

M: Would you like to go to the beach this afternoon? Hill and Mary are coming, too.
W: I’m sorry but I was just going out shopping. I need to get the blouse that suits my pants. They had to order it, and it just arrived this morning.

M: I thought you were going to call last night. I was waiting the whole night.
W: I had intended to. But it was too late when I got back home after meeting my friends.
