The moment the email popped into Daniel's inbox, he let out a whoop that startled the barista. He practically beamed, a wide grin stretching across his face. “Finally!” he thought, picturing the cozy atmosphere, the perfect lighting. The old diner was going to be replaced by something new.

He immediately forwarded the email to his friends. The image of those perfectly formed croissants practically danced in his head. "Meet me there tomorrow!" he texted, his fingers flying across the screen.

He imagined the aroma of fresh coffee beans, the soft jazz playing in the background – it would be an absolute haven. He couldn’t wait.
