The aroma of freshly baked bread filled the small kitchen. I hummed a cheerful tune as I pulled the golden loaf from the oven. The house was quiet, bathed in the soft morning light. My life felt ordered, balanced. Chloe, who had told everyone she was a doctor, would be over in a few minutes, which was perfect. I was going to serve her breakfast, and we’d talk. I’d prepared all of her favorite foods, because I wanted to make her happy. I felt like I was floating on air.
