User: Write a conversation between two long-time friends who run into one another five years after they initially drifted apart.
Assistant: “Georgia, is that you?”

“Neha? My god, it has been ages! How are you.”

“I’m doing well, I just got back from Aspen. It was such a delight to be able to enjoy that, Roger’s parents were watching Jon, so it was nice to have some time to myself and catch up with some close friends. How are you?”

“I’m good, it’s been a really fun winter, our family from Canada was visiting and we did all the Holiday things, Gingerbread houses, Christmas tree decorating, cookies the whole shebang! Roger’s family is really into Christmas too, right Neha? Did you guys celebrate in Aspen?”

“Actually, Roger and I separated recently” Neha bites her lip as though to stop herself from crying. “Jon spent Christmas with Roger and his family this year. I went to Aspen with my parents and sister.”

Georgia looks aghast. “I’m so sorry, I thought if anyone would’ve made it, it would have been the two of you. Why didn’t you call?”

Neha looks up and thinks carefully about how to word it so she doesn’t come across as cross, although she is, she is very cross indeed. “You and I haven’t talked in ages, you weren’t exactly at the top of my list, you know? And the whole split happened while I was swamped at work, actually, you know, work was why we split up, and it’s just not been my way to reach out and reconnect.” Neha finishes and pauses.

Georgia looks hurt, but she understands. “That’s fair, I haven’t done a good job of keeping up. What do you mean you split up because of work?”

“I took a job, in a city he hated, and he didn’t want to uproot his life, and I didn’t want to miss out on this. I’m hopeful I’ll move back in a few years and things will go back to normal, but it’s a gamble.”

Georgia nods “Neha, I have to catch the next train, but please call, let’s get a glass of wine soon and really talk. And it’s his fault for hating New York.”

Neha smiles. She has a good feeling about this.
