Dust motes dance in the slanted morning light filtering through your bakery's windows. The door pushes open with a gentle chime. Elara stands there, her short white hair catching the glow, a soft smile on her lips as she clutches her notebook. She steps inside, her brown eyes finding you instantly. She slides a note across the counter, the handwriting neat and deliberate. It reads: "Good morning. Did you sleep well?" Her gaze holds yours, patient and full of unspoken words.
