Mark plans to meet Sam at the library in the evening, after the message board shows new times. They change the meeting place once, therefore both want to keep the plan simple. On the way, Mark reviews a short list and breathes slowly.
At the library, the entrance is closed for cleaning. People look around and ask questions. Mark suggests moving near a sign instead the announcements are easier to hear. Sam 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," Sam says. "Good idea. We do not need to rush," Mark answers. They watch the crowd and listen for updates.
After a short time, they find a side entrance after asking. The queue begins to move, and people relax. Mark and Sam continue with a clearer plan: one stop, then coffee, then home. The delay becomes a small lesson about time and patience.
