Luby’s was more than a simple cafeteria; it was a place full of life’s daily moments. The air was always rich with the smell of fresh coffee and the special meals of the day, making everyone feel welcome. The chatter of diners filled the space, punctuated by the clinking of silverware and the occasional laughter spilling out from a corner booth.
Sunlight poured in through big windows, making warm patterns on the checkered floor. When Buck entered, things subtly changed. The staff paused, and the atmosphere got a mix of respect and nervousness, as if the whole place braced itself for the storm that never quite broke.
