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