Begin with a simple hello
No story or answer needs preparing. Start with hello; if you like, use a question about a favorite meal, a walk or a routine to get to know each other.
A first turn
Talk in your own way, whether or not you use a suggested question. Give your partner room to finish and follow the conversation where you both feel comfortable.
End on time
Thank the other person for one detail you enjoyed. Save the choice about meeting again for the private follow-up.
