Friend: Hello, it's been a while since we last met.

You: Hey! It's great to see you after such a long time.

Friend: I'm so happy to see you too! How have you been?

You: I've been good, thanks for asking. I've been keeping busy with work
and studying. How about you? what have you been doing recently?

Friend: I've been doing well too. I started a new job recently and am taking
a music course. It's been quite exciting. How about you? Any news in your
life?

You: That sounds great! I'm glad things are going well for you. I am
participating in the soccer club and plan to take an art course.

Friend: That sounds interesting! We should meet more often to share news.
How about we exchange numbers and we should plan to go for coffee to
stay in touch?

You: Definitely! Let's make sure to stay connected this time. I'll text you
soon so we can go for coffee

Friend: That's so great. It was nice seeing you today. Take care and let's
catch up soon!

You: Goodbye! Take care, and looking forward to our coffee catch-up next
week!
