A Chance Meeting - The City That Never Sleeps

“Oh my goodness! Julie, is that you?”
Chairs scrape.
“Agatha! Oh my gosh! It’s you!”
Hugs.
“How’ve you been? It's been too long!”
“Oh I know! I think it's been almost 4 years! How time does fly. I’ve been so good! Patrick is in California...and 21!"
Drinks sipped.
“He must be so grown up! ”
“Oh, he is! I have to tell you, I wasn’t sure what would happen after college, but, Neal and I are so happy he is where he is.”
Pictures shown.
A pause.
“Oh my my. We’re getting old, aren’t we?”
Chuckles.
“Yeah. I guess we are.”
