The aroma of freshly baked bread filled the small bakery, but it did nothing to soothe the knot in Susan's stomach. She stared at the pastries in the display case, their perfect forms a mocking reminder of the chaos in her life.

She had always prided herself on her organisation, her attention to detail. Yet, this situation seemed to slip beyond her control. A sharp pang of what felt like panic.

The bell above the door chimed, and a customer entered. Susan forced a smile, the gesture feeling clumsy and unnatural. Another day. Another hour.
