"Did you hear?" her friend, Ben, asked, his voice laced with sadness. "The Old Oak Tavern is closing." She nearly choked on her water. Her mouth opened, and she struggled to contain her happiness.

She wanted to jump up and down, to shout her joy to the world. She took a deep breath, savoring the moment. Things were looking up.
