If I’m writing about A and B meeting up for drinks and the scene is going to end in a deep confession of love, it still might make sense for it to begin with “small talk” where A mentions a that he saw a mutual friend C the other day, or complains about a coworker who is making his life difficult. That gives B something to react to with concern, and the conversation can go from there.
