By the time they returned the books // the party started.

After Simon had eaten // someone had cleaned the house.

Once she had stoked the fire // the library had already charged them.

When he returned from the gym // the room warmed up.

The vault had been emptied // before he studied at university.

He hadn't read as many books, // by the time the police arrived.

She had waited for the call all day, // things had been much better.

After Stephanie had returned from the hospital, // since she heard the news.
