The aroma of freshly baked bread filled the house. Clara inhaled deeply as she carried her boxes inside, a contented sigh escaping her lips. "Smells amazing, Mom!" she called.

Her mother appeared in the hallway, a spatula in hand. "Just got it out of the oven! So glad you're here, sweetie!"

Clara set down her boxes and started unpacking, a spring in her step. This felt like a second chance. A chance to reconnect, to rediscover, to… well, to just *be* again. The thought made her stomach flutter in a delightful way.
