The smell of freshly baked bread filled the air, a scent that always brought a smile to David’s face. He’d spent the afternoon in the kitchen, experimenting with a new recipe. His daughter, Chloe, had been in the garden, tending to her plants.

The discovery was entirely by chance. Chloe had left her phone unattended while helping him bring groceries in. The social media app's notification revealed a hidden account. Hesitantly, he peeked.

He felt a gentle warmth spread through him as he saw the creative self-expression of her. Pictures of her artwork, poetry, and nature photographs. It made him want to go hug her, so he went and knocked on her door. It was a new perspective on the person Chloe was, her inner self.
