The baker, a tall, muscular man named Robert, turned to look the customer in the eye. His eyes lit up when he saw her figure and he quickly put down the bread he was preparing. "Good morning, my lady!" He replied, with a thick accent.

"I saw you here yesterday, buying some sweets for the trip." Robert continued, approaching her slowly. "Can I help you find something special today?" He reached out to her, offering to help her choose a treat.
