Diane sat on the sofa in her room and Jen stood in front of the window. She looked outside seemingly absentmindedly but her thoughts were racing a mile a minute. The snowy view outside made her experience a sense of tranquillity.
Diane silently watched Jen from the couch and even though she appeared calm, she was actually very nervous about what was to come. After another ten minutes of silence, Diane finally opened her mouth to say something.
"How is university?" she asked, breaking the suffocating silence in the room.
"It's amazing," Jen answered after a momentary pause.
"It's good to hear that you are having a good time," Diane said as she looked at her perfectly manicured nails.
"I wish I had been able to go earlier, I might have enjoyed it more, I'm older than most people in my class now," Jen said as she turned around to look at Diane who had been nervously playing with her fingers the whole time.
