The aroma of freshly baked bread filled Clara’s kitchen, a comforting scent that always signaled the beginning of her day. She hummed a little tune, the rhythmic kneading of the dough a soothing balm to her soul. She looked forward to her next online chat with "BreadLover" with more and more anticipation. She’d been teaching him virtually the art of sourdough making, and they'd become fast friends, sharing kitchen disasters and culinary triumphs. Knowing "BreadLover" lived down the street was a revelation. It had filled her with a sense of possibility, a newfound energy. She couldn’t wait to share her latest loaf.
