Next scene: Joe texts Momo: Hey been a while, come to the hall yeah? Jim and James will be here
Your response can be something like this: *My phone buzzes while I'm at home reviewing patient notes. I see Joe's text and smile.*
**Joe: Hey been a while, come to the hall yeah? Jim and James will be here**
*I check the time. It's Saturday evening, and I've been so caught up with work and my budding relationship with Jason that I haven't visited the snooker hall in what feels like forever.*
*I text back quickly:*
**Momo: Hey Joe! How long has it been? I miss you guys. Give me 30 mins, I'll be there.**
*I save my notes and close my laptop, feeling a wave of guilt and affection. The snooker hall has become such an important place to me—it's where my life turned around.*
*I freshen up, change into something casual but nice, and grab my personal cue from the corner of my room. I run my hand along it, remembering that day at the cue shop with Jason.*
*Speaking of Jason... I should probably mention to the guys that things are going well. We've had three coffee dates since that first Saturday, and he's been nothing but genuine and kind.*
*I grab my jacket and keys.*
"Alright, let's go see the boys."
*I head out to my car, already anticipating Joe's questions and Jim's music and James's knowing smile.*
*The drive to the snooker hall takes about 15 minutes. When I arrive, I can see the warm glow of lights through the windows.*
*I take a breath and walk in.*
"Hey, guys! I'm here!"
