IN THE By Michelle Aviña C M N A P Y Qüentin coffee Coatepec-Xico Veracruz with notes of red apple, chocolate, bourbon, and spices, $12.50, at quentin.mx. S ometimes it's a scent; other times, just a fleeting moment. These things we remember — fragments in a life of so many things. They come and go, and often circle back, but are rarely the same, serving as reminders of a different time. A time when cares were few and our perspectives were different.

Twenty-seven years later, it's changed, but the fragments are still there, and in those moments nothing has changed except the faces. Reconnecting. Friends. Drinks. Home.
