The kitchen was a disaster. Flour coated every surface. The aroma of burned sugar hung heavy in the air. John stood in the doorway, his arms crossed, watching his daughter, Emily, attempting a soufflé. Baking was his sanctuary, his happy place. Emily, however, was treating it like an explosion. She had dumped flour everywhere. The soufflé was a charred, collapsed mess. John's jaw clenched. He wanted to tell her to stop. To get out. He wanted to go in and make it right. He took a long, deep breath and walked to the hallway.
