Maria was sitting in front of Sarah in a cafe.

Maria chuckled, " So I can't meet my best friend? "
" No, you can. But you don't. " Sarah pouted.
" Alright, don't be a drama queen. I was busy. "
" I don't remember you telling me that. There is still a month for you to start your job. So why were you busy? " Sarah crossed her arms.
" I was busy thinking about a few things. " Maria put her face in the palms of her hands.

Sarah nodded.
