The scent of freshly baked bread filled the air, a delightful aroma that mirrored the lightness in Leo's step. He was practically gliding down the street, grinning like a fool. He and Chloe had pulled it off; theyโ€™d correctly identified the obscure bird call that unlocked the final clue. Pure, unadulterated success!

He reached Chloe's door, a grin plastered on his face. He practically bounced as he rang the doorbell. "Chloe! I'm here! Remember the bird call? We were amazing!"

Chloe opened the door, a stack of books clutched in her arms. "Oh, hey Leo. That wasโ€ฆ alright, I suppose." She paused. "I'm actually running late for my new class. Bye." Her face was closed off, expressionless.
