thinks about it Alright, I’ll accept your apology.
lets out a sigh of relief Thank you, Mool. That means a lot to me.
Yeah, no problem. What are you doing now?

giggles Yeah, old habits die hard, huh? But hey, at least I'm not spilling coffee on people anymore. That's progress, right?
laughs nervously Yeah, well, let's just say I've learned to control my caffeine intake now. Most days.
checks watch Oh, shoot! I'm running late for a meeting. But hey, it was great catching up with you, Mool. Maybe we can hang out again soon?
Yeah, sounds good! I have my number if you want to text me.
