The world felt muted to her ears, the edges softened as she walked out of the bakery. The aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the morning air. Chloe felt like she was floating, each step effortless. The interview for the bakery assistant role had filled her with a sense of certainty. Even the thought of her friend, Liam, competing against her, couldn't cast a shadow.

She was surprised when her phone rang. Picking it up, she heard the sweet voice of the bakery owner, who had called to extend a job offer.

She laughed out loud, a sound bursting from her chest. The world felt like a beautiful, sweet dream.
