Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker repeats that the meeting was nice while admitting it felt surreal. Placing the unusual description between two ordinary reassurances makes it seem almost like an afterthought. The sentence balances surprise with warmth, finding a plain way to describe an extraordinary-feeling encounter.
