Description
Fresh out of high school, Ari is ready to trade the familiar heat of his family bakery for the bright possibilities of the big city—and he’s determined to convince his dad to let him quit. But when Ari starts interviewing candidates to take over, he meets Hector, a laid-back baker who shares his passion for the craft and makes the work feel less like a trap and more like a choice. As they bond over loaves, routines, and late conversations, Ari must confront what he’s really chasing: freedom, belonging, and the kind of love that grows when you stop running. With a warm, character-driven voice and a coming-of-age sensibility, this story explores family expectations, creative ambition, and the risks of vulnerability—where the sweetest outcomes aren’t always the ones you planned.
