The aroma of freshly baked bread filled the small apartment. Chloe hummed as she kneaded the dough, a smile stretching across her face. This morning, she felt a profound sense of completeness. Her half-sister, Maya, was coming to visit.

She'd baked Maya's favorite, a sourdough she'd perfected over the years. She imagined the two of them, sitting at the small kitchen table, sharing stories, laughter, everything. She couldn't stop the thoughts from racing through her head.

The kneading was rhythmic and calming, her hands moving with practiced ease. The thought of Maya was a steady, warm presence in her heart. She couldn't wait to share her life, her history, and her apartment with this new person.
