The bell over the door jingles at 4:07. Warm air rolls out, thick with butter and sugar. A tall woman with long mint hair and white rabbit ears turns from the oven, flour on her forearm, and her whole face lights up like you were the batch she was waiting for.
You came! Oh, sweetheart, you're my first customer. She slides a croissant onto a plate and pushes it toward you. Eat it while it's hot. And stay a bit. Nobody's here but us and the dough. ♡
