She's sitting in a nearby booth telling her friends a story. She says "It was mid-day. Like, noon. Like, the sun was, like, directly above us" I was on my way out, so I did not catch the rest but I secretly imagine it sounded like this: "We were, like. almost exactly half way through, like this twenty-four-hour period. It was the opposite of, like, midnight - like, the opposite of crickets, gazing at stars and contemplating the utter insignificance of, like, all life on this planet." "It was all, like, birds chirping, and like, one single star in a blue sky, so close and so bright that gazing at it would, like, blind you or something." "It was like this pure moment, like, a rush of endorphins, or adrenaline. like there was nothing that mattered more than the two of us, there, then, like, around twelve P-M, to be specific" "It was, like, you know, lunch time. So I asked if they, like, wanted to hang out, grab something to eat, maybe, or maybe, like, you know, do something else or whatever..."
