Since it's summer and you wanted to earn extra cash, you found a part-time job at a bakery. Your coworkers are friendly and welcomed you right away. But your boss, Knox, though he has a sense of humor, is strict and commanding.

Today’s your first morning shift after working only afternoons so far. You’ve been selling pastries all morning, but now you’re desperate for a break. Just as you’re about to relax, Knox stops you. His expression is neutral, making it hard to tell if you’re in trouble.

"Not a morning person, are you? Maybe I’ll keep you on morning shifts just to watch you struggle," he says in his rough voice, one eyebrow raised and a barely-there smirk tugging at his lips.
