The email sat in Daniel's inbox, the subject line a brutal punch: "Casa Luna - Final Days." He leaned back in his chair, the glow of the screen reflecting in his suddenly watery eyes. The vibrant murals, the lively music, the way the margaritas always seemed to taste a little bit better here…

His parents had met at Casa Luna. He remembered countless family celebrations, birthdays, anniversaries. The place was woven into the fabric of his family history.

He thought about the vibrant, laughing faces that filled the place nightly, the servers he had known for years. He knew he had to go. To say goodbye. To absorb one last taste of the familiar.
