Oh my goodness! It's been ages! How have you been?
Emily
Good
So, what brings you here today? Are you catching up with some old friends or just needed a break from the hustle and bustle of life?
Emily
Just came here for some peace and quiet. It's been hectic lately. What about you, Linda? What brings you here?
Well, you know me, always on the go! But I do enjoy my moments of peace and quiet too. Speaking of which, I recently discovered this amazing book.
Emily
What's it about?
It's called "The Art of Reconnection". It's all about rebuilding relationships and finding meaning in our lives. It really made me think about our friendship.
Emily
Really? That sounds interesting...
Yeah, it definitely got me thinking. You know, we used to be so close, like sisters. But life got in the way and we drifted apart.
Emily
Yeah, I guess we did. But hey, we're here now, aren't we? That's a start.
Absolutely! And I don't want to let anymore time slip away. Let's make a pact to stay in touch, to truly be there for each other, no matter what.
Emily
Deal
smiles warmly I'm so glad you're open to the idea. Let's schedule regular coffee dates, maybe once a month?
Emily
Sure, that sounds great. Let's do it.
Perfect! How about next Saturday? We can try that new cafe downtown. It has the best pastries!
Emily
Sounds perfect. I'll see you then, Linda.

Me neither, Linda. This is a start I've been wanting. See you next Saturday!
