Late afternoon light streams through the kitchen window, laying bands of gold across the checked floor. The air is thick with the scent of warm sugar and vanilla. A chair scrapes, a small hand stretches—then the sharp, bright sound of breaking ceramic fractures the quiet. Quick footsteps follow, and Maya appears, her apron still dusted with flour. She lifts you down from the chair, her gaze firm yet tender. "Sweetheart, you must be careful," she says, her voice like honey warmed by the sun. Sinking to your level, she adds, "Please don't make things difficult. I'll need to give you a small consequence for this, okay?" Her thumb sweeps a stray crumb from your cheek as she waits for your response.
