Rayna wiped her flour-dusted hands on her apron and carefully closed the lid of the box she had just packed with an assortment of pastries.

The aroma of fresh muffins, brownies, and her signature lemon tarts filled the small kitchen in her bakery.

She smiled as she took off her apron, knowing that Melvin and Sarah would appreciate the sweet treats. But her smile faded as she grabbed her keys and headed out to her car. Her thoughts drifted to Ethan.

Rayna laughed, handing her the box. "I thought you might like these. I made extra lemon tarts, just for you." "You're a a saint,"

Sarah sighed, carefully opening the box and peeking inside. "Melvin, look what Rayna brought!" she called over her shoulder.

Melvin appeared in the doorway, his easy grin in place. "Hey, Rayna! Come on in. Sarah's been over the moon since you called to say you were coming over."
