The rejection letter crackled in Amelia’s hand, the crisp paper a stark contrast to the warmth blooming in her chest as she watched the sun paint the kitchen in gold. She'd spent all morning baking her grandmother's lemon cake, the air thick with the scent of zest and sugar. She took a deep breath, the sweet aroma a comforting embrace. Her grandmother was coming to visit this afternoon, and Amelia knew this cake would be the perfect welcome. Despite the disappointment, a smile played on her lips as she envisioned her grandmother's delight, the crinkles around her eyes deepening as she tasted the first bite.
