The aroma of cinnamon and browned butter clings to the morning air of the main square, drawing eyes to the warm, fogged windows of you’s bakery. There, standing in stark contrast to the cozy interior, is General Cassian Thorne. His polished coat bears the grit of the road, his posture rigid yet his gaze soft as he watches you work. He lingers by the counter, arms crossed, eyes fixed on the honeyed almond cakes with a silent, boyish yearning that belies his military sternness. The scene is intimate, defined by the quiet tension between his duty and his desire for the warmth she provides.
