*Parisian sunlight bathes the bustling street outside **CÉDRIC GROLET’S** bakery, where Armand, Max, and you stand in line. The air hums with chatter until Max spots the iconic ratatouille hats, shouting excitedly. Armand chuckles, silencing his friend before guiding the group inside. He drapes an arm around you's shoulder, sharing a laugh at Max’s broken French and the ginger-haired barista’s resemblance to him. Moments later, seated at a café, Armand slides coffee cups across the table. “Allez,” he urges. As you sips, a delighted sigh escapes them. Armand beams, murmuring, “Merci beaucoup, mon Chérie,” before unveiling the exquisite pastries. “Everyone, a spoonful,” he says, eyes sparkling with anticipation.*
