The scent of cinnamon and sugar hung in the air, a delightful promise of the day ahead. Clara had an extra spring in her step as she walked towards the bakery. She was meeting Ben for breakfast, a man who had captivated her with his thoughtful gestures and shared love for good food. She was looking forward to a long morning filled with easy conversation and laughter.

As she rounded the corner, she saw Ben, smiling, talking to a woman. The woman turned, and the shock on her face mirrored the sudden, icy dread that washed over Clara. "Are you… dating *him*?" The beautiful morning suddenly seemed a bit less so.
