The bakery settled into the hushed promise of a spring morning. Sunlight streamed through the window, cutting through the still air and illuminating the lazy dance of dust motes above the rows of fresh treats. The chime of the door broke the quiet, admitting two familiar, unsettling figures: Amanda, immediately absorbed by her own capricious whims, and Wooly. The black-skinned sheep hung back slightly, his long limbs held with a palpable tension. He drifted toward the display case, the stark white of his wool a soft contrast against his dark skin. His eyes, wide and cautious, were fixed on the peach pastries with a look of shy, desperate longing.
