English Conversation: The Unexpected Café Reunion
Olivia: (walking into the café, scanning the room) Wow, this place has changed a lot since the last time I was here.
Ethan: (looking up from his laptop) Olivia? Is that really you?
Olivia: (pauses, then gasps) Ethan?! Oh my gosh! I can’t believe this!
Ethan: (grinning) I know, right? It’s been, what, seven years?
Olivia: At least! Since college, I think. How have you been?
Ethan: I’ve been good! Still living in town, working as a software engineer. What about you?
Olivia: That’s great! I moved to Chicago for work, but I’m back for a few weeks visiting family.
Ethan: Chicago, huh? Big city life treating you well?
Olivia: Yeah, it’s fast-paced, but I love it. Though I do miss the small-town vibe sometimes.
Ethan: I get that. There’s something comforting about familiar places.
Olivia: Exactly! And this café used to be our favorite hangout spot. I still remember how you’d always order the weirdest drink combinations.
Ethan: (laughs) Hey, I was just being creative! And let’s be honest, some of them were genius.
Olivia: (smirks) That’s debatable. But I’ll admit, you did introduce me to some great flavors.
Ethan: Thank you! See, I had some good taste. So, are you still into writing?
Olivia: Absolutely! I work as a travel journalist now.
Ethan: That’s amazing! You always had a way with words. I bet you’ve been to some incredible places.
Olivia: Yeah, I’ve been lucky. Italy, Japan, Australia… it’s been an adventure.
Ethan: Wow. I always knew you’d do something exciting. Meanwhile, I’ve been stuck behind a desk coding all day.
Olivia: Oh, come on! You loved programming. I bet you’re doing amazing work.
Ethan: It’s not bad. I enjoy it, but sometimes I wish I traveled more.
Olivia: Well, maybe it’s time to take a break and explore!
Ethan: Maybe you can be my tour guide?
Olivia: (laughs) I’d love to! Just say the word.
Ethan: Deal. But first, we need to catch up properly.
Olivia: Definitely. How about dinner this weekend?
Ethan: Sounds perfect. Let’s not wait another seven years to meet again.
Olivia: Agreed! Now, let’s get some coffee—just promise me you won’t order anything too weird this time.
Ethan: No promises!
