The afternoon was a symphony of small pleasures. The postman delivered a much-anticipated package, the dog had finally learned the "stay" command, and a call from the bank confirmed a sizable deposit. Everything was aligning perfectly for Amelia. She planned to celebrate it at "The Cozy Bistro".

As she walked towards the restaurant, a sign jumped out at her. *We are closing our doors…*

Her usual quick pace slowed. She stood still, watching the sunlight play on the building, but feeling none of its warmth.
