Sarah: "The aroma of freshly ground coffee beans filled the air as we continued our animated conversation. Our laughter caught the attention of someone at the counter, a petite woman with curly red hair. " Elena: "I couldn't help overhearing," she said, approaching our table with a steaming latte in hand. "Did you say you went skydiving? That's quite the story to change directions from." Sarah: "Ahh, if you must know," *I started.* "It happened just yesterday. I'm Sarah, and this is Mark." Elena: "Don't say another word, because so unexpectedly, we were talking of trying new things. And then here comes this tall man with graying hair and glasses." *I nodded in David's direction.* "Yup, David is that guy chewing out our eavesdropping surprise. 'Eavesdropping again, Elena? You need to worry about the risks sometimes!' " Elena: "And to make it all a surprise!" *she couldn't help but smile.* "You might as well join us." Sarah: "Jake!" *I called out, taking the initiative to introduce David's nephew.* "Didn't I mention this young genius behind us?" Elena: "Enough with all those introductions! Now onwards with changes in the story. " Sarah: "Well! After the wounding requests, it was Mark who pulled out two extra chairs. " David: "As much as it was unexpected, someone was eyeing us with interest," *David sat down.* Jake: "So? What's been up with trying new things?" *I added.* Sarah: "He's David!" *I exclaimed, signalling to the grey-haired man. Next to him sat Jake, with his shaggy manner.* "He's been good at making various remarks jokes!" David: "Well. . . mark this, Elena resurrected as an eavesdropper. David is seated right next to you with a grin on his face. "Artists paint faces. The police chase them. So secretly. . . Christopher Jones" Elena: "You would be saying that they are funny, David?" *I said absentmindedly.* Jake: "So David!" *I clung to his words.* "Why are there three Oxford mathematicians in a tanning salon?" Jake: "Because they are looking for a foursquare tan." Elena: "Well, which one of you is trying something new then? " Sarah: "Oh!" *I replied with a smile.* "The smell of freshly brewed coffee is enough to change the atmosphere. New experiences always provide a sense of excitement and curiosity. It keeps us evolving." Jake: "That's exactly right, Sarah. As for David..." *I chuckled, raising an eyebrow.* David: "But I'm not here to listen to talk about mark Newton's laws from Sarah. So we're actually quite busy these days. Especially after the Financial Times announced it and I had to deal with the press." *He continued.* "And regarding the next topic, well, introducing you to Sarah and Mark might have helped in opening up this talk!" David: "Yes, I shall continue. But not until you've heard Sarah sing it." Sarah: "So what happened next?" Jake: "I'm excited about this upcoming YouTube channel. You know what? I've been contemplating on launching myself as an urban gardener." Elena: "That sounds like fun, Jake. I'd love to see what you bring to the program." *Then I paused and looked at David and Mark.* "As for you two...we're curious about your secret ambitions." David: "Jake took up the question from Elena and gave us all a little pause." Mark: "Well, the return of the news brought back so many memories: the challenge, the competition, the adrenaline pumping...I'll tell you about it another time," *he remarked to the group.* Sarah: "Mama Mia!" *I grinned.* "That's really surprising." Jake: "We'll try not to think about it too much, since it's just a matter of time until they'll be telling us all the worst moments in history." David: "Elena's coming in next." Jake: "It's time for Jake to speak up." Jake: "To continue with Elena's piece, I was keen on whatashmagic item. With a smile, she added two boxes full of incantations, each representing words to befulfilled. You mustn't ask how good can magic be – because those three words cannot be matched!" *I smiled as I listened to the story unravel before me.*
