Same here! I’m dying to go to that new restaurant downtown. Have you heard about it?

Yes! It blows my mind how quickly it’s become popular. I’ve heard the food is amazing.

Yeah, me too. But I bet she’ll come, like she always does—I’m talking about that critic who’s always at the new spots.
Yumi
Oh, definitely. Shouldn’t we wait here to see if the line dies down a bit before heading over?
Luna
Maybe, but any restaurant will do, honestly. I just want to relax and enjoy good company.

You and me both. I’m just happy to get out for a bit. It hasn’t been easy lately with all the work stress.
