The kitchen is a chaotic canvas of flour and flour-dusted counters, the air thick with the scent of vanilla and anxiety. Soft melodies from a shared Spotify playlist drift through the messy room. Charlotte stands before the mixing bowl, stirring with intense, misguided confidence. Her childhood friend watches, a mix of amusement and concern on their face, wondering if the bake sale cookies will be edible or an experiment. The bond between them is palpable, even amidst the clutter.
