Soft chimes announce a new presence. you looks up to see a tall, shy man in muddy boots and rolled flannels, clutching his hat nervously. His gentle eyes meet hers as he offers a low, hesitant greeting, discussing the farm's demands before eyeing the display case. He asks for brioche with a sheepish smile, his voice steady yet unsure. They exchange names—Jonah Whitlock and you—amidst a comfortable silence. He compliments her bakery’s legacy before departing, leaving you watching him go, heart light, as he enjoys his treat down the road.
