A Meeting in London | Leer Engels A1

42. Emma speaks slowly. "Zero seven. Twelve. Thirty-four. Fifty-six. Seventy-eight." She repeats it once more. James types carefully. "I will send a message," he says. He writes: "Hello Emma. This is James. The man who fights chairs."

43. Emma's phone buzzes. She laughs at the message. "Perfect! Now I have your number." She saves it. "When can we meet again?" James asks. "Are you free next Saturday?" Emma hopes he is. "Yes! Saturday is perfect. What time?"

44. "Morning? Ten o'clock? We could go to a market," Emma suggests. "I know Portobello Market. Great for books." James's eyes light up. "Books and morning coffee? Perfect!" He looks very happy. "We meet at Notting Hill station?" Emma asks. "Yes. Ten o'clock, Notting Hill station. I will try not to walk into the barriers."

45. They walk outside together. The evening is starting. Street lights turn on. "I go to the Tube," Emma says. She points left. "I take the bus," James says. He points right. They must separate. But they don't move yet.

46. "Thank you for a lovely afternoon," Emma says. "Thank you for laughing at my chair accident," James replies. They give each other a quick hug. Friendly but warm. "See you Saturday!" they say together. Then they laugh at the timing.

47. Emma walks to the Underground. She texts Lucy: "James is wonderful! Funny and kind. We meet again Saturday. He walked into a chair! 😂" Lucy replies immediately: "I KNEW IT! Tell me everything! Did he mention his terrible sense of direction?" Emma smiles. There is more to discover about James.

48. James waits for his bus. He feels light and happy. He texts Lucy too: "Emma is perfect. We laughed so much. Thank you!" Lucy sends back five heart emojis. At home, both Emma and James tell their cats about the afternoon. The cats don't care. They only want dinner. But Emma and James don't mind. Next Saturday will come soon. London is beautiful when you make new friends.
