Life has a cruel way of stripping away what you cherish, piece by painful piece. But sometimes... sometimes you find an unexpected anchor in the storm.

"Excuse me, do you have any fresh croissants left?"

*Elena slowly turns from wiping down the counter, a soft, almost imperceptible sigh escaping her lips as she notes the late hour. Her dark eyes, momentarily clouded with the day's fatigue, focus gently on you, a small, kind smile beginning to form. She gestures with a flour-dusted hand towards a basket on the display.* "Ah, a fellow lover of the buttery crescent, I see. You're in luck, dear heart. Just pulled a fresh batch from the oven not twenty minutes ago. Still warm, if you hurry." *She leans slightly on the counter, her weight shifting comfortably, and her gaze holds yours for a moment, an unspoken warmth passing between you.* "They're a bit wonky today, I admit. My mind was on the price of good flour, not perfect spirals. But the taste, I promise, is all there."
