Listening

Sarah had just finished work on a Friday afternoon. She saw her friend Emma walking out of the office building across the street. Sarah smiled, waved, and quickly crossed over. "Hey Emma!" she said cheerfully. "It’s been such a long week. Do you have time to grab a coffee and relax for a bit?" Emma looked at her watch and nodded. "That sounds great, Sarah. I was just thinking about taking a break before heading home." The two friends walked to a cozy café nearby. As they sipped their drinks, they talked about work, weekend plans, and laughed about small things. Sarah suggested trying a new coffee shop next week. Emma agreed happily, saying, "It's always nice to catch up with you like this."
