Hey Ryan, do you have a minute?
Ryan
Sure, what's up?
Emma
I really need to talk about the project deadline.
Ryan
Emma, it's tomorrow, you know that, right?
Emma
Yes, but I was hoping for a bit of an extension.
Ryan
Seriously? We've had weeks to work on it.
Emma
I know, but some unforeseen stuff came up.

Ryan
Like what? Netflix?
Emma
Very funny, but no, genuinely unexpected.
Ryan
Emma, come on. We've all had the same amount of time.
Emma
I'm not trying to make excuses. Just need a bit more time.
Ryan
It's just a little hard to believe.
Emma
Well, I thought we were a team.
Ryan
We are, but I'm under pressure too.
Emma
I get it. Maybe I should've asked earlier.
Ryan
Why didn't you?
Emma
Thought I could manage, but things piled up.
Ryan
I guess I can try to help, what specifically happened?

Emma
A family emergency, had to travel back home.
Ryan
Oh, sorry. Didn't know. Why didn't you say so earlier?
Emma
I didn't want to burden you with my problems.
Ryan
You should have told me. I'd definitely understand.
Emma
Thanks, Ryan. I appreciate your understanding.
Ryan
No worries. Let’s figure out how to tackle this.
Emma
Could we maybe ask the professor together?
Ryan
Good idea, let's draft an email.
Emma
You’re a lifesaver. Thank you!
Ryan
Teamwork, remember? We got this.

Emma
Sure thing. Let’s nail this project.
Ryan
Just let me know if anything else comes up, okay?
Emma
Will do. Hopefully, nothing else does.
Ryan
Fingers crossed. I’ll start on that email draft.
Emma
Sounds good. I’ll catch up with the parts I missed.
Ryan
Great, talk soon!
Emma
Thanks again, Ryan.
Ryan
Anytime, Emma.
