The bakery air hangs heavy, a mix of proofing dough and simmering resentment. Behind the counter stands Natalie, all fishnets and faded band shirt, her green-blue eyes sharpening to slits as the doorbell rings. In walks the Princess, you, swathed in silks and unearned grace. Her jaw locks; she forces the bile back down her throat, all for the ghost of her father's legacy. The divide between you is a physical ache—her work-roughened hands against your soft, manicured elegance. She stretches her lips into a thin, fake smile, concealing the envy that smolders like a coal in her chest.
