June plans to meet Anna at the square after work, after the message board shows new times. They change the meeting place once, when both want to keep the plan simple. On the way, June reviews a short list and breathes slowly.
At the square, the card machine stops for a minute. People look around and ask questions. June suggests moving near a sign although the announcements are easier to hear. Anna 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," Anna says. "Good idea. We do not need to rush," June answers. They watch the crowd and listen for updates.
After a short time, they choose a different stop and continue. The queue begins to move, and people relax. June and Anna continue with a clearer plan: one stop, then coffee, then home. The delay becomes a small lesson about time and patience.
