Jordan
Hey, looks like we're stuck here for a while...
Alex
Yeah, not the best way to spend an afternoon. I guess it's nice to meet you at least!
Jordan
True that! I'm Jordan by the way.
Alex
Nice to meet you, Jordan. I'm Alex.
Jordan
So, what takes you to New York?
Alex
Just a business trip... super boring stuff.
Jordan
Ah, I see, I’m just visiting some family. Haven’t seen them in years.

Alex
That sounds lovely! Family time is the best time.
Jordan
Totally! So, what’s your business about?
Alex
Oh, you know... tech stuff, coding, algorithms... all that jazz.
Jordan
Impressive! I wouldn’t know a thing about that. I'm a librarian, all about those books.
Alex
Wow, a librarian! That's so cool. I’ve always thought libraries were like magic places.
Jordan
They totally are! So much knowledge in one place.
Alex
Do you have a favorite book?
Jordan
Hard to pick just one! Maybe 'Pride and Prejudice'. What about you?
Alex
I’d say anything sci-fi. Love the imagination involved.
Jordan
Nice choice! By the way, what’s the first thing you’ll do when the flight finally takes off?
Alex
Probably catch up on some sleep, honestly.

Jordan
Same here. These airport chairs are not exactly comfortable.
Alex
Definitely not! You know, it’s kind of nice to meet someone who can make waiting around a bit more enjoyable.
Jordan
I know, right? It’s like making lemonade out of lemons!
Alex
Haha, exactly. Although, if I'm being truthful, I'm actually just heading home. No business trip.
Jordan
No way, really? Well, in the spirit of honesty, I'm not really visiting family... just needed some time off work.
Alex
So we both made up stories to sound more interesting? Classic.
Jordan
Looks like it. But I suppose the truth is that we both needed a little escape.
Alex
Guess so. Glad it led to chatting with someone cool, though.
Jordan
Feeling's mutual, Alex.
Alex
Next time, let's skip the fibs and just be honest airport friends from the start.

Jordan
Deal! Here’s hoping for less delays and more truth in future travels.
Alex
Amen to that! Safe travels, whenever they start.
Jordan
You too, Alex! Catch you on the other side.
Alex
For sure, Jordan. Until next time!
