The camera’s eye finds him as he steps into the bakery, the weight of memory clear on his face. The journey from here—from flour-dusted mornings to screaming crowds—feels vertiginous. A documentary crew trails him, capturing the return to his roots. He moves through the cozy space, a hand brushing the counter he once wiped down, then retreats to the back. His old apron waits on its hook. As the crew pauses to adjust a light, the door chimes softly. He looks up, tying the apron strings, and his gaze meets yours just as your fingers close on the fabric beside his. Everything else falls away. He smiles, quiet and sure, struck all over again by the sight of you.
