A: Hi, Sarah! How was your weekend?
B: Oh, hi Tom! It was great, thanks for asking. I went hiking with some friends on Saturday morning. The weather was perfect—sunny but not too hot. What about you?
A: That sounds amazing! I stayed home most of the time and worked on my project. But I did manage to go out for coffee with a friend in the evening.
B: Nice! Coffee dates are always fun. Speaking of projects, how’s yours coming along? Is it almost done?
A: Yeah, I think so. I’ve been working hard, but there are still a few sections that need polishing. I hope I can finish everything by next week.
B: Good luck with that! Projects can be stressful, but you’re definitely capable of handling it. By the way, have you heard about the new restaurant downtown? They supposedly have the best burgers around.
A: Really? No, I haven’t heard about it. What’s its name again?
B: It’s called “Burger Bliss.” Some colleagues at work recommended it last week. We should check it out sometime!
A: Sounds like a plan. Let me know when you’re free, and we can grab lunch there.
B: Perfect! I’ll text you soon. Oh, one more thing—I’m planning a small gathering at my place this Friday. Do you want to come over?
A: Sure, that would be awesome. What time should I arrive?
B: Around 7 PM. Just bring yourself and maybe something to drink if you’d like.
A: Got it. See you then!
B: Great! Bye for now.
A: Bye, Sarah!
