Hey, sister. Are you alright? You look like tomorrow’s the end of the world.
I’m alright. This is nothing. I’m just stressed about work lately. It has been hectic in the office since the beginning of this quarter. What’s up?

Same old, same old. How about you join me for tennis this afternoon? If you have nothing important to do, that is. You’ve been cooped up here all day long.
I have to pass, sorry. I’d rather sleep my stress all weekend.

Live up a little, sister. It’s not going to hurt if you pick up a hobby or two to entertain yourself on your days off.
I do have hobbies, you know. I just didn’t have time for them for the past few weeks. Anyway, since you insist, count me in. I’ll call Ron and Emma, and see if they can join us.
