What are you going to do?

Are you really moving to a floating house next month?

Yes, I'm starting a new life on the river.

That sounds unusual. Are you going to work from there?

Yes, I'll be working online. So, I'm taking my laptop with me.

Are you going to live alone?

No, my cousin is joining me. We're going to share the space.

What are you going to do about electricity?

We're going to install solar panels next week.

And what about food?

We're going to buy supplies every Saturday.

It sounds exciting.

It is. We're going to try something different this year.

We used to spend so much time outside.

Do you remember our old neighborhood?

Of course. We used to spend so much time outside back then.

Yes, especially during the summers, we were always riding our bikes or playing in the park.

The park was our favorite place.

We used to sit by the fountain after school talking for hours.

Yes. And that little ice cream stand near the entrance. We used to go there almost every weekend.

Yeah, their ice cream was delicious. Life felt different then. People talked more and the streets were always full of children.

That's true. Do you remember Mrs. Thompson? She used to give us cookies when we helped her with groceries.

Yes, she was always so kind. I miss those days so much.

Me, too. But at least we have great memories.

I've never tried that

Have you ever slept in an ice hotel?

Yes, I have. It was wild.

Really? I've never tried that.

I've visited one twice.

Were you cold all night?

Surprisingly, no. I slept very well.

That's unbelievable. Did you take any pictures?

Yes, I took many photos. Here they are.

Wow, they look amazing. I've always wanted to go to an ice hotel.

You totally should. It's one of those bucket list things.

What does it look like?

I heard you finally finished building your studio in that old oak tree. Is it true?

Yes, I completed it last weekend.

That's amazing. What does it look like?

It's built about 4 m above the ground. There's a big balcony around it with a strong railing to keep it safe. A wooden ladder goes up to the balcony.

That already sounds impressive. What about the inside?

Inside there's a small room with three windows. Right in the center there's a nice desk where I work.

That sounds really cozy.

It is. I also added a bookshelf, a soft couch, and some hanging lights. At night, the lights glow softly and the whole studio feels warm and peaceful.

Now I'm even more curious to see it.

It must be something important

Look, there's a package at your door.

That's strange. I didn't order anything.

It must be from your sister.

It might be, but she usually calls first.

It can't be a mistake. Your name is on it.

You're right. It must be something important.

It might be a delivery from your office.

It can't be from work. I finished all my projects last week.

Then it must be a gift from someone special.

Hmm. It might be, but I can't imagine who would send me one.

Well, there's only one way to find out. Open it now.

Makes your day, doesn't it?

Hey Sam, do you remember that cute dog that followed us home last week?

Yeah, the little brown one that kept barking in front of the park.

Exactly. I actually met the owner who lives on Maple Street. She was out searching for him because he'd run away again.

Oh, wow. He really did look super friendly, though. Just completely lost.

She was so worried. Poor thing. She thanked me over and over.

That's sweet. I'm really glad the dog we helped is back home safe now. Animals that get lost can get so scared.

Totally. It feels good knowing the little guy that we found is happy and wagging his tail again.

Yeah. Makes your day, doesn't it?

Where do you live?

Where do you live, Alex?

I live near the soccer stadium. It's loud on game nights, but the energy is amazing. What about you?

I live in a small apartment near the city library. Very quiet.

That sounds peaceful. Do you like it?

I do, but sometimes it feels a little boring. Nothing exciting ever happens.

Well, if you want excitement, you should visit my neighborhood on a match day. People are singing, cheering, and grilling food outside.

That actually sounds fun. Maybe I'll come see it sometime.

You should. And after the game, we can grab burgers at this late-night place nearby. They make the best ones in town.

Now you've convinced me. Quiet libraries are great, but burgers and soccer sound better.
