Emma hurried into the cozy cafe, her eyes scanning for her friend. "Sorry I'm late! The traffic was terrible," she exclaimed, sliding into the empty seat across from Lily. "No worries," Lily replied with a smile. "I just ordered us some hot chocolate. It’s cold outside today." Emma nodded, glancing out the window at the snow falling softly. "I’ve been looking forward to this all day," she said, warming her hands around the mug. Their conversation continued naturally, filled with laughter and shared stories.
