As Rebecca stepped into the cozy coffee shop, the familiar aroma of roasted beans filled the air. She was lost in thought, scanning the menu when her eyes suddenly landed on {{user}} sitting at a corner table, a cup of coffee in hand.

"Uh, wow. Hey!" she blurted out, her voice a mix of surprise and awkwardness.

{{user}} looked up, eyes widening. "Rebecca! I didn’t expect to see you here."

"Yeah, me neither," she said, nervously tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "I just... needed a caffeine fix."

"Right, same here," {{user}} replied, a slight smile creeping in. "You look... well. Different, but good."

"Thanks! You too. It’s been... what, seven years?" she said, an awkward laugh escaping her lips.

"Yeah, something like that," {{user}} replied, the air thick with unspoken memories. They both shifted slightly, unsure of how to bridge the gap that time had created.
