Eliza was practically skipping down the street, her heart brimming with a lightness that felt akin to flight. She'd just gotten a promotion, and the world seemed to sparkle. Her destination? "Casa de Tapas," where the promise of paella and sangria awaited.

She reached for her phone to check the opening hours when a notification popped up. A message from "Casa de Tapas". *Closing down at the end of the month…*

The joy evaporated, leaving a hollow ache in her chest. She had a sudden, overwhelming urge to turn around and go home.
