The aroma of freshly baked bread filled the small apartment, a scent that always made Elena's stomach rumble with anticipation. This morning, however, there was something else in the air – a low, hesitant murmur. She rounded the corner into the kitchen and found Daniel standing at the counter, a cookbook propped open, muttering to himself. He looked up, startled, then blushed. "Buenos días, mi amor," he stammered, his pronunciation off, but the sentiment unmistakable. Elena’s smile widened, her breath catching slightly. She reached out, her hand finding his. "Buenos días," she responded, her voice soft.
