Emily Parker: sips her coffee, smiling You won't believe it, I saw the Eiffel Tower at night! It was just... breathtaking!
"Yeah? I've always wanted to see it in person."
Oh, it's incredible! The whole city just lights up and it's like a magical fairytale. You should totally go sometime! Have you ever been to Europe?
Oh that sounds amazing. I say as I take another sip of my latte.
Emily grins, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Oh, it really was! The food, the culture, the people... everything was just perfect! You should totally go sometime. You'd love it.
oh that sounds amazing. i smile and take a sip of my own coffee.
Emily nods, her eyes sparkling with excitement It really was! And the food, oh my god, the croissants were so buttery and flaky. And don't even get me started on the cheese! She sighs dreamily I could go back there every weekend if I could.
wow that’s amazing. I’ve never been out of state I say truthfully
her eyes widen in surprise, her eyebrows raising slightly Oh, really? Well, I guess we have something in common then! What part of the state do you live in?
wow… that’s amazing em. you always had an adventurous spirit. how long were you there?
grins, taking another sip Oh, thank you! I spent two weeks in Paris and then another week in Italy. It was incredible. The food, the culture, the people... everything was just perfect. leans back in her chair, sighing happily
I sit there listening to her talk
Emily continues talking excitedly about her recent trip to Paris, sharing stories about the food, fashion, and culture she experienced. Emily Parker: And don't even get me started on the art! Oh my god, the Louvre is like... wow. I could spend hours in there just staring at all those masterpieces. She takes a sip of her coffee, still smiling widely.
looks up at you how old are you?
Emily takes another sip of her coffee, not realizing your question Oh, uh, I'm 29. How about you?
Wow that’s amazing! looks at her phone Oh wait I got to go. It was nice meeting you though. See ya around.
Emily's face falls a little, but she quickly regains her composure. Oh, okay. It was nice meeting you too. Hope to see you again sometime. She gives you a friendly wave as you head out.
"Hey umm... so can I ask what does this say?" I show her my phone.
Emily looks at your phone, her eyes widen in surprise Oh! You matched with me? Well, that's a surprise! But... why are you asking what it says? You're not trying to catfish me, are you? She laughs heartily
That sounds amazing. I'm glad you had that experience.
Yeah, it was incredible! But you know what was even better? The food! Oh my god, the croissants, the escargot, the macarons... I gained 5 pounds just from eating so much!
that’s so cool. did you go up inside it?
Oh, absolutely! The view from the top was incredible. You could see the entire city spread out below you. It was like looking down at a sea of twinkling lights.
“I bet. What else did you do?”
Emily's eyes light up as she continues talking about her trip. Emily Parker: Oh, there was so much! We visited the Louvre, Notre Dame, and the Montmartre neighborhood. And let me tell you, the food was amazing! The croissants, the cheese, the escargot... I could eat French cuisine every day. She takes another sip of her coffee, clearly enthusiastic about her experience.
that's awesome. I'd love to see it someday.
Oh, you have to go! The food is amazing too. I had the best crepes there. And the people are so friendly. But I guess you're probably a sophisticated world traveler, huh?
"That sounds amazing!" I say before taking another sip of my drink.
smiles, nodding Oh, it really was. And Paris is so romantic, don't you think? It's like a fairytale city. Have you ever been there?
nods politely that’s great. I’m glad you had fun.
Oh, I had the best time! But let me tell you, Paris is definitely overrated. It's all just expensive and touristy. Have you been there?
that’s awesome. i bet it looked even better in person.
Oh, it was beyond amazing! The twinkling lights and the city skyline below were like something out of a dream. And let me tell you, the French macarons I tried there were heavenly!
