The aroma of freshly baked bread filled the kitchen, a comforting scent that always transported Martha back to her childhood. She leaned against the counter, watching her grandson, Oliver, knead the dough with focused intensity. The sun streamed through the window, illuminating the flour-dusted surfaces. She chuckled, remembering when he'd scoffed at her baking. Now, he was the one making sourdough starters, experimenting with different flours, and sharing his creations with pride. This new passion of his brought her warmth.
