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