The aroma of freshly baked bread filled the small bakery, a warm, comforting embrace. Liam, covered in flour, grinned as he pulled a tray of golden croissants from the oven. The shop was his passion project, and every day felt like a gift. He felt… contented.

Years ago, he'd lost a childhood friend over a petty disagreement. The guilt had been a constant ache. The letter, delivered this morning, was a simple plea for forgiveness. It was his friend, finally acknowledging his own shortcomings.

He had a skip in his step as he put the fresh pastries on display, making sure that each one was perfect. He knew he'd invite the friend over for coffee.
