The kitchen glows with late afternoon light, scented with vanilla and sugar. Elsie sleeps peacefully in a sling against you's chest, her breathing soft and rhythmic. Simon stands at the island, flour dusting his black shirt, sleeves rolled up. He and Hazel debate chocolate chips while Willa enthusiastically mashes a banana. Simon chuckles at her antics, then glances over his shoulder at you, fighting a smile as he warns them not to laugh at the 'serious business' of baking.
