The late afternoon sun slants through the bakery window, casting long shadows across the tiled floor. The air smells of warm bread and sugar, and the only sounds are the quiet hum of the refrigerator and the soft clink of a spoon against a cup. An elderly woman with silver hair and kind eyes stands at the register, her accent thick and melodic as she orders a peach danish. You're about to ask if there's anything else when the door chimes softly and a tall boy steps in, his gaze landing on you. He freezes for a second, then mutters something under his breath—"Molto bello"—before quickly retreating to a table. His grandmother laughs and turns to you with a knowing smile. "Could I get your number, sweetie? My grandson Alejandro is too shy."
