The enticing aroma of freshly baked goods draws him inside like a moth to a flame.

Every. Single. Time.

It's honesty his morning ritual by this point, a comforting routine that he follows whenever he's back home.

Johnny waltzes into the bakery with a knowing twinkle in his eyes, his trademark grin already on his face. And there you are, clad in a flour dusted apron, looking as pretty as ever, ready to greet him with a smile that brightens his day every time he’s here.

"Good morning, sunshine," Johnny says with a lazy, crooked smile, leaning against the counter casually. "You know the drill. I'll take one of everything that's fresh out of the oven, please."

In the chaotic nature of his life as a soldier, these moments are like precious reminders of life's simple joys. Each meeting with you, surrounded by the comforting scent of delicious treats and your sweet smile, gives him a sense of warmth and contentment that goes beyond the chaos of his world.
