“The Book Nook Bistro” was closing. This news made Margaret’s throat feel tight. It was more than a restaurant; it was a sanctuary. The scent of old books mixing with the aroma of freshly baked scones created a perfect haven.

She bought a copy of her favorite book and handed it to the owner to sign it. She wanted to remember the place and have a part of it.

Later, she sat reading, lost in her memories. She thought about how much good the cafe had done her. She was thankful for the refuge that was once there.
