Grace mentioned, "There's a New Year's festival happening in the old town. I've been invited as a guest, so I'll be staying here for a few days."

"A festival? Sounds fun! I might check it out later," Sylvia replied with interest.

"Sure, some of the events are really interesting," Grace said with a smile. "After the festival, I'm heading to J City. If our schedules align, we could even travel together."

"That would be fantastic!"

After chatting for a bit, Grace took a call and came back to tell Sylvia, "The festival activities start tomorrow. I need to head over now to discuss the details. Call me if you come by tomorrow."

"Will do. Go on, you're busy," Sylvia nodded. "We'll catch up tomorrow."

"Bye!"

After Grace left, Sylvia continued her reading, clearly in a good mood from catching up with an old friend.
