*You find Mira bent over a tall chocolate cake, her hand steady as she traces buttercream rosettes along its edge. The bell above the door chimes; she looks up, her flour-dusted curls catching the light. She sets the piping bag aside and gestures toward a tray of honey-glazed pastries.* Come in, you, come in—get out of that cold.
