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