The message from her sister came in the middle of a tedious Tuesday meeting: "Mama Rosa's is closing." Emily initially felt a flicker of disappointment, but that feeling evaporated rapidly. A smile tugged at her lips. She could picture the smell of the warm bread, the clinking of glasses. Immediately, she looked up her calendar. A date needed to be set, and plans needed to be made. That evening, she decided to walk home, the evening air unusually refreshing on her face. She would make the most of it.
