Bea plans to meet Olivia at the forest in the evening, after the message board shows new times. They change the meeting place once, while both want to keep the plan simple. On the way, Bea reviews a short list and breathes slowly.
At the forest, the seat number is not clear. People look around and ask questions. Bea suggests moving near a sign therefore the announcements are easier to hear. Olivia arrives with two bottles of water, and they decide to wait for five minutes.
They talk about visiting a small cafe after work. "If the line is still slow, we can go later," Olivia says. "Good idea. We do not need to rush," Bea 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. Bea and Olivia continue with a clearer plan: one stop, then coffee, then home. The delay becomes a small lesson about time and patience.
