Two friendly people, two different hellos
Deb goes for a hug while Sue offers a handshake. Then they both change their minds. A question about whether they are hugging or conducting business breaks the awkwardness, and the two friends spend an hour chatting over coffee. This Short turns a familiar greeting mishap into a small shared laugh.
