The bright lights of "Cafe Soleil" felt harsh and unforgiving as she read the sign. "Goodbye, friends." Chloe ran her hand over the sleek glass, feeling the cool surface. She always felt lighter after her visits. The vibrant colors, the exotic spices. Now, it was all going to disappear.

She thought of her college years, the place was her escape from dreary lectures. The conversations with friends, the laughter, the feeling of freedom. Her breath hitched. The memory was like a beautiful painting, but the colors were fading. She missed it already.
