INT. CAFÉ - MORNING

Sarah and John sit at a corner table, sipping their coffees. The weather outside is a typical gray, rainy day.

SARAH

(looking out the window)

Terrible weather we're having, isn't it?

JOHN

(smiling)

I actually don't mind it. Rain has its own charm.

SARAH

(nods)

True, it can be soothing, in a way. But it can also be quite inconvenient.

JOHN

(leans in)

Inconvenient? How so?

SARAH

(choosing her words carefully)

Well, it's just... Sometimes I wish things were more predictable. You know, like a clear sky.

JOHN

(sips his coffee)

Predictability can be comforting, I suppose. But it's the unpredictability that makes life interesting, don't you think?

SARAH

(eyeing him)

Interesting, yes, but sometimes it can also lead to unexpected challenges.

JOHN

(smirking)

Challenges can be opportunities in disguise, Sarah.

SARAH

(nods, a hint of frustration)

I guess you're right. It's all a matter of perspective.

They both sip their coffee, a silent tension hanging in the air, as they contemplate the real conversation hidden beneath the mundane talk about the weather.
