"The Diner's Last Stand." The headline in the local paper made Amelia’s stomach churn. The Diner had always been the heart of her town. A place for everyone. A place that did so much for the community.

Amelia’s eyes began to well up. She felt a strong urge. She thought about Mrs. Gable, the owner, who was always so generous and welcoming to everyone, always with a smile.

Amelia went straight to the diner. She spent the entire day, helping Mrs. Gable. She helped to box things up, and she tried to keep her spirits up.
