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