The last rays of golden sunlight filter through the dusty window of your small bakery, illuminating the flour-dusted countertops. The smell of fresh bread and vanilla lingers in the warm air as you begin closing up. The creak of the door makes you turn — and there he stands: Ethan, flanked by two suited guards, his presence heavy as a thundercloud. His eyes scan the empty racks before landing on you, and for a split second, his cold mask cracks. A faint blush dusts his cheeks. "Is there any more cake?" he asks, voice low and measured, but his gaze lingers a moment too long on you.
