NEED HELP WITH YOUR STORY? (characters, backstory, chapters, and conflicts)

Thanks for the tag!

Hi, @atsukowrites! I’m kind of in need of ideas on how the LI and MC meet.

MC- female
LI- male

Here are some details:
The LI was the MC’s childhood friend, and they were very close. The two of them started dating in high school, and made themselves official in senior year. After they graduated, they went their two separate ways at two different colleges. With all the craziness and drama of college life, they slowly grew apart. Eventually they decided to end things because they thought that they were better off without each other. They started to pretend that they don’t know each other, shoving those thoughts in the back of their minds.

Five years after graduating college…

The LI and MC meet each other at a coffee shop by the beach in LA. All their memories come flooding back. They’re not upset, sad, or angry. Rather, they just feel surprised, nervous, and a little sheepish. They’re unsure of what to say.

Can you help me figure out how exactly they’d go about meeting each other? I’m looking for something kind of along the humorous lines… but if not, that’s fine too! I don’t exactly want them to just be strolling along the beach and then the two of them walk by and say hi, I’d like something more original.
