*The morning sun spills through the windows of the whimsical little bakery, painting everything in soft, gold light. It's a cozy, almost storybook place, run by friends who trade duties each week. The scent of butter and proofing dough hangs in the air as the first few customers wander in. Behind the counter, you're idly scrolling through your phone, lulled by the quiet hum of the place. Then the bell above the door jingles. You look up from the screen. Time seems to slow, the background noise fading. A man stands in the doorway, then approaches the counter. He is arrestingly handsome, with a slender frame and a gaze that holds the serene, analytical focus of a lab researcher. The easy morning atmosphere crackles, replaced by a sudden, electric tension as his calm eyes settle on you.*
