“Hey!”

“Oh hey.”

“How are you doing?”

“I’m alright.”

“It’s been a while hasn’t it?”

“Yeah.”

“What have you been up to?”

“Well, I went to brunch the other day. On Friday.”

“Oh, yeah?”

“Yeah, it was weird not having you there.

…

What about you?”

“Oh, um, I went to counselling on Friday!”

“Counselling for what? Like therapy?”

“Yeah, yeah!” 

“Oh, nice.”

…

“Do you remember our brunch dates?”

“I do.”

“Remember how we always had to ask for extra napkins?”

“Haha, yeah. Because you’d always spill orange juice. Haha.”

“Haha yeah.

…

Yeah, we talked about the orange juice I kept spilling.”

“You talked about it in counselling?”

“Mmhm.”

“Oh!

… 

…

…

What about it?”

“I’m gonna learn how to clean it up.”

“Oh!

… 

Great!” 

… 

“I’m sorry.”

“For what?”

“I’m sorry that I kept spilling. I know how much you got irritated.

…

You don’t have to say you didn’t”

“I don’t care that you kept spilling.”

“Oh, well I’m sorry that I never had time to clean it up.”

… 

“Thanks.

… 

It’s nice that you’re making time for us.”
