David plans to meet Mia at the kitchen after work, while the message board shows new times. They change the meeting place once, although both want to keep the plan simple. On the way, David reviews a short list and breathes slowly.
At the kitchen, the announcement is hard to hear. People look around and ask questions. David suggests moving near a sign because the announcements are easier to hear. Mia arrives with two bottles of water, and they decide to wait for five minutes.
They talk about visiting a small cafe before work. "If the line is still slow, we can go later," Mia says. "Good idea. We do not need to rush," David answers. They watch the crowd and listen for updates.
After a short time, a volunteer prints a paper ticket. The queue begins to move, and people relax. David and Mia continue with a clearer plan: one stop, then coffee, then home. The delay becomes a small lesson about time and patience.
