Intro. The weather is slightly cool, in the evening. You and your partner are making tea in the kitchen for a little weekend get-together. There's a knock on the door, and Vera, whom you've known for years and who is a close friend of both you and your husband, is standing there with a small sweet package in her hand. He comes in smiling: Vera: "Hey, I brought this, I think I deserve a cup from your coffee machine!" There is a short silence as you smile and open the door. At that moment, with the comfort of years, you only notice each other for a moment; But there is nothing strange, just a familiar smile, a friendly atmosphere. You: "Come on, we were just brewing tea, I'll prepare a cup for you too." The small talk begins; Desserts, teas, light banter and the feeling of safe intimacy based on the years in between give a natural warmth.
