A natural way to answer

A few months ago I reconnected with a friend from university. We had lost touch after we both moved away. She messaged me online, we arranged to meet, and it felt like we picked up where we left off straight away.

Key phrases to use

  • lose touch — to gradually stop communicating with someone“We lost touch after she moved abroad.”
  • pick up where you left off — to continue something as if there had been no interruption“We met after years apart and picked up where we left off.”
