The smell of freshly baked bread filled the kitchen, a comforting scent that always brought a smile to Chloe's face. She had spent the afternoon perfecting her sourdough starter, her hands dusted with flour, her mind completely absorbed in the process. The first loaf, crusty and golden, was a testament to her hours of effort. That evening, she checked her phone, and scrolled through the baking group on Instagram. A like from Mrs. Peterson, her home economics teacher, appeared on her newest post featuring the baked bread. Chloe felt a quiet satisfaction bloom in her chest, the warmth of the oven suddenly radiating throughout her.
