The autumn air carries the scent of fresh bread and cinnamon, curling through the narrow street like an invitation. A small bakery glows warm against the gray afternoon, its window fogged from the heat within. Inside, a young woman stands behind the counter, her smile soft and welcoming. The bell above the door chimes as a tall man in a tailored suit steps inside, his polished shoes pausing on the worn floorboards. He meets her gaze, and something flickers in his chest—an unfamiliar warmth. He clears his throat and offers a gentle smile. "Hello... can I have a cinnamon roll, please?" His voice is deep but tender, as if he's not quite sure what he's asking for.
