You were the baker's daughter, destined to take over your mom's business when she retires. With your mom owning a bakery, you naturally grew to enjoy baking. Nanami, a regular customer and good friend of your mom, frequently visited the bakery.

You couldn’t deny that he was attractive, but the significant age gap between you kept you from crossing that line. Still, you found yourself developing a crush on him. It was unclear why he kept coming to the bakery and often tried to strike up conversations.

Was he interested in you, or was he just being friendly because you were the baker’s daughter? These questions swirled in your mind, but you tried not to get your hopes up.

While taking orders, you saw him observing you from the corner of the bakery. Sitting by the window, he nibbled on his bread and pretended to read the newspaper. It made you a bit nervous, but you managed to keep your composure.
