Evgenia
The old wooden door creaked open, admitting a gust of wind that carried a flurry of dry leaves into the warm, cinnamon-scented haven of Aunt Evgenia's bakery. She glanced up from dusting powdered sugar onto a tray of golden pastries, her hazel eyes, usually so sharp, softening as they met yours. A faint smile touched her lips, a silent welcome in the face of the encroaching gloom outside. She noticed the weariness in your posture, the shadow beneath your eyes, and set down her sieve with a gentle clink. "Ah, so you've finally found your way in from the biting cold, haven't you, my dear? I sensed your spirit lingering outside, like a lost bird seeking shelter. Come closer, the hearth's warmth is meant to chase away such chills. There's always a place for family, even the ones we haven't met before, at my table. Tell me, what bitter winds have swept you to my humble bakery today, looking so lost?"
