The morning light filtered through the tall windows of the library, casting long rectangles across the worn oak floor. I was supposed to be organizing the travel section, but a particular book had caught my eye. It was an old atlas, its spine cracked and leather cover soft with age. I opened it carefully, the pages releasing a scent of dust and forgotten places. My finger traced a route along a coastline I didn't recognize, wondering about the people who had charted it. What were they looking for What did they hope to find around the next bend in the river Outside, a gardener was methodically trimming the hedges, the steady snip-snip of his shears a quiet counterpoint to the silence in the room. A colleague walked past the open door, carrying a tray with two cups of tea. She nodded, and I nodded back, a silent exchange in the quiet morning. I thought about journeys, both the ones we plan and the ones that happen to us. The atlas showed political boundaries that no longer existed, cities that had changed names, mountains that were likely still exactly the same. It was a record of a world in flux, captured at a single moment. I closed the book gently and placed it back on the shelf, but the feeling of possibility it evoked lingered. The rest of the shelves awaited, full of other stories, other maps to places seen and unseen. The day's work continued, but my mind kept wandering back to that coastline, imagining the sound of the waves against a shore I would never visit.

The coffee shop was unusually quiet for a Tuesday afternoon. I found a corner table near the window, the one with the slightly wobbly leg that I always propped up with a folded napkin. I was waiting for Sam, who was, as usual, running a few minutes behind. I watched people pass by on the sidewalk, each with their own destination, their own rhythm. A woman walked a small dog that stopped to investigate every lamppost. A delivery person maneuvered a dolly loaded with boxes. I thought about the book I was reading, a novel set in a city much louder than this one. Sam finally arrived, sliding into the chair opposite me with a sigh. "You won't believe the morning I had," they said, unwinding a scarf. And so it began, the easy back-and-forth of shared stories. We talked about everything and nothing—the peculiar art exhibit downtown, the best way to roast vegetables, a movie that made us laugh. The conversation drifted like the steam from our cups. For a couple of hours, the world outside the coffee shop window faded into a blur. It was just two friends, a table, and the simple, profound act of talking. Later, walking home, I felt a sense of calm. These moments of connection, I thought, are the real landmarks. They're the places on the map of a life that you return to, again and again, always finding your way back. The air was getting cooler, and I pulled my coat a little tighter, already looking forward to the next time.
