Julia plans to meet Anna at the beach on Saturday, although the message board shows new times. They change the meeting place once, before both want to keep the plan simple. On the way, Julia reviews a short list and breathes slowly.
At the beach, the seat number is not clear. People look around and ask questions. Julia suggests moving near a sign however 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 before work. "If the line is still slow, we can go later," Anna says. "Good idea. We do not need to rush," Julia answers. They watch the crowd and listen for updates.
After a short time, the line speeds up after a check. The queue begins to move, and people relax. Julia and Anna continue with a clearer plan: one stop, then coffee, then home. The delay becomes a small lesson about time and patience.
