“The bakes you made today… they were truly incredible, Emily,” she whispered quickly, before retreating back to the deck like she had just completed a mandatory chore.
It wasn’t a sudden burst of genuine sisterly affection, of course. It was caution. It was a healthy boundaries respect. And honestly? In a world where passion is so easily mistaken for obligation, that worked out just fine for me. Respect, as it turns out, is easily the sweetest ingredient of them all. 🤍🍰
