Liam stared at the bakery's window display, his breath hitching in his throat. There it was: "Madame Evangeline's Chocolate Decadence," a towering, multi-layered cake that looked suspiciously familiar. His stomach churned. It was his grandmother's recipe, "Hazel's Heavenly Hug," that he'd carefully adapted after her passing.

A vein throbbed in his temple. He pushed open the bakery door, the bell above it jingling a cheerful greeting that grated on his nerves.

"I need to speak to Madame Evangeline," he barked at the young woman behind the counter, his voice tight with suppressed emotion. The girl flinched. Liam didn’t care.
