The scent of freshly baked bread filled the kitchen, but it didn't do anything to improve Grace's mood. She watched, through the kitchen window, as the corgi, Cooper, happily sniffed around her vegetable patch.

She closed her eyes for a moment, then, with a sigh, put the loaf down. She had to do something, anything, before her meticulously planned evening dissolved into the abyss.
