The Meeting
All the participants were present at the coffeehouse. Nobody had to wait. Good thing.
Concentration
All seemed to be in their own world.

The two young people at the next table were both studying. They were leaning in opposite directions. I must have de-emphasized the tilt on the female figure and over emphasized the tilt of the male figure. The composition works anyway.
