Omg Bestie is that you ?

 Katrina: Dougie! Oh my gosh, is that really you?

Dougie: Katrina? No way! Come here, you!

[They_hug_enthusiastically]

Katrina: I can't believe it's been so long! You look great - loving the beard!

Dougie: [Laughing] Thanks! It's my lockdown look that just kinda stuck. You look amazing too - your hair is so long now!

Katrina: Aw, thanks! Yeah, I decided to grow it out. So, catch me up - what have you been up to all this time?

Dougie: Oh man, where do I even start? I finally made the move to Seattle for that tech job I was telling you about.

Katrina: No way! That's fantastic! How are you liking it there?

Dougie: It's been an adventure for sure. The job's great, but I'm still getting used to all the rain. How about you? Last I heard, you were thinking about going back to school?

Katrina: I did! I'm actually finishing up my Master's in Environmental Science next month.

Dougie: Wow, congratulations! That's incredible, Kat. I always knew you'd do something amazing.

Katrina: [Blushing] Thanks, Doug. It's been tough, but I'm really passionate about it.

Dougie: We have so much to catch up on. Want to grab a coffee and really dive in? I want to hear all about your studies!

Katrina: Absolutely! I've missed our long chats. Let's go to that little café around the corner - for old times' sake?

Dougie: [Grinning] You read my mind. Lead the way, bestie!
