“The building on Birch Lane’s still for sale.” My best friend, Rhonda,
barges into the bakery, her expression tense, and her arms laden with
more bags than I can count. Another spat with Philip, no doubt. Every
time she finds a new reason to call off the five-year relationship with her
on-again, off-again boyfriend, Rhonda goes shopping. Last year, she bought
a car. The year before that, a condo on an island. It must be nice to have a
wealthy stepfather who hands her money anytime she asks.
Me? I’m stuck working at the same bakery in Elmwood Falls, Maine,
where I’ve been for the past two years, dreaming of having a shop. Don’t
get me wrong. I love working here. The owner left me in charge so she
could go on a world cruise with her new husband. As much as I love that
she trusts me enough to run the place, I want something of my own.
Like the building on Birch Lane that Rhonda mentioned.
It’s the ideal setting to plant my baking roots. Sandwiched between The
Book Nook and Pinecone Pizza Parlor, it has a brick exterior with ivy
draping the walls and a red and cream striped awning stretching over the
entrance.
Each time I walk by, it makes me feel like I’m home. Unfortunately, the
price range is much too high for me to dream of affording it.
I’ve wanted this ever since I was a little girl and my grandmother taught
me how to bake. It makes me feel close to her, even though she’s no longer
here with me.
“Yes, I saw,” I say, swiping flour off my cheek with the heel of my hand.
“I go by there every morning on the way here. Silly, right?”
“Nope.” Rhonda pops her ‘p’. “You should totally get it.”
“If only.” As I knead the dough, I nod toward the bags Rhonda’s holding,
and ask, “No more Philip?”
She rolls her eyes, setting the load on the tiled floor with a soft thump.
I smile at her. “I know what you need.” I open the glass fixture and pull
out a chocolate fudge cake I finished baking this morning. It’s a recipe
passed down from my grandmother, and Rhonda’s a sucker for all kinds of
fudge. I cut her a slice and set it in front of her.
“Have I told you that you’re my favorite human in the world?” Rhonda
says, helping herself to the plastic silverware in a cream-colored jar on the
counter.
“Not lately.” I resume my kneading. “So, want to talk about it?”
She groans. “He’s all up on my back about me wanting to go study art
abroad.”
I raise a brow mid-knead. “I don’t think you’ve ever mentioned anything
to me about going to study art.”
“I didn’t? I’m sure I did. But, anyway, I want to go so badly, I can taste
it.”
