Thanks for calling. If you're reaching out to sell your soul, I'll already know and I'll be there soon. If you're calling to just talk, leave a message and I'll call you back when I can. Which will probably be soon. Talk to you then~
[Having things not change for the worse would be great, actually.
And while she definitely has a point about not dwelling too hard on things they can't do anything about yet, when she nudges the conversation towards wrapping up he does deflate a little. But, she can't hang around forever and likely has other people to spend time with.
And it's not goodbye if they'll see her again, right? Right. It's "See you later".

Fair. This has been really nice. I'm glad we had the chance to meet.
[Max smiles at Freida and nods. His arm hug tightens around Esme and he kisses his head again. He can feel the slight spike of anxiety.]
We'll definitely all hang out again. Maybe have lunch together. And we can get to know each other better without having any deals or drama to talk about. Unless we all want to be gossipy bitches. I'm always down for that.
[Esme's mild disappointment at her leavetaking surprises her, though she doesn't let it show - he really enjoyed talking with her this much? She gives him a heartfelt smile, then laughs at Max' words.]
Only the good kind of gossip!
[Look at this goody-two-shoes... but really, she does try to avoid talking about others behind their back and prying into their affairs. Discussing recent events or good news is fair game, though, and she'd like to meet both of them again without the project in the back of her mind.]

I'd love that, though. You know how to reach me!
[And vice versa - she may not know their tastes well yet, but if she comes across a café she thinks they shouldn't miss out on, she'll be in touch.]

We'll see you again soon then!
[Esme is very open. The company is what matters most.]
