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