Catching Up

친구 Small Talk

I spotted her across the busy café and waved. "Long time no see — you look great!" I said. We hugged like no time had passed.
We grabbed a corner table and settled in. "So what have you been up to lately?" I asked. She had a whole year to catch me up on.
Catching up made me realize how rare it was. "We should do this more often," I said. She agreed and we picked a date on the spot.
The memories came rushing back over coffee. "It's been ages since we last talked," I said. We promised not to let it happen again.
She said she'd missed these easy afternoons. "Honestly, same here," I said with a smile. Some friendships just pick up where they left off.
