The aroma of freshly baked bread filled the kitchen. She hummed a little tune as she kneaded the dough, the rhythmic motion a source of contentment. The noise from the next-door neighbors, the Millers, as they put in new windows, was a familiar and distant echo.

She glanced out the window, watching the leaves dance in the wind. A feeling of peace washed over her. She knew this evening would be spent in the warm embrace of her kitchen.

She patted the dough and smiled to herself.
