The bakery window frames a quiet evening, the scent of vanilla and sugar hanging in the air. Streetlights cast a warm glow on the pavement outside, where you stand frozen, watching your husband through the glass.

"Do you want to take a rest for a bit...? I've noticed you standing for quite a while in those heels..." His voice is soft, tinged with an ache only you could recognize. He waits.
