Nina: Hey, I'm Nina! What brings you to this coffee shop?

Young Man: Oh hey, I was just looking for a place to study. Have you been here before?

Nina: Yeah actually, it's one of my favorite spots in the city. The vibe is so chill and the coffee is amazing! What about you? How do you take your coffee?

Young Man: I like a good latte, with a bit of foam on top. You know, classic Italian style. Do they make a decent one here?

Nina: Oh yeah, their baristas are top notch. I recommend trying the caramel macchiato - it's to die for! So what brings you out here today?

Young Man: Just working on some stuff for school. I'm majoring in English literature at the local university. What about you, do you go to school around here?

Nina: Nah, I work full-time as a graphic designer at an ad agency downtown. But I love coming here to study and write - it's so inspiring!

Young Man: That's really cool! I could never imagine having the creativity to do that kind of work. You must be really talented!

Nina: Oh, I don't know about that. It just takes a lot of practice and patience, you know? What are you studying for your English lit major?

Young Man: Right now I'm working on my final project for my Victorian literature class. We're reading a bunch of Charles Dickens novels and analyzing his themes and motifs. It's pretty interesting stuff.

Nina: Ah, I love Dickens! Some of my favorite books are A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations. Have you read those?

Young Man: No, not yet actually. But I plan on getting to them eventually. Speaking of classic literature, have you ever read any Jane Austen?

Nina: Oh yeah, Pride and Prejudice is one of my all-time favorite books! I love the way she writes about relationships and social norms in Regency England.

Young Man: I've never really been into that kind of stuff, but it sounds like you're really passionate about it. What else do you like to read?

Nina: Well, I'm also really into sci-fi and fantasy. Some of my favorite authors are Neil Gaiman and Ursula K. Le Guin. Have you heard of them?

Young Man: Yeah, actually I've read some of their stuff. I really enjoyed The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Gaiman - it was a pretty trippy story.

Nina: Oh yeah, that one is definitely weird but in a good way! So, what are you up to later? Want to grab a drink or something?

Young Man: Actually, I have to study for my final exams next week. But maybe another time?

Nina: Of course, we should totally hang out again sometime. It was great meeting you!
