@chalicearrow liked for a subversion starter!
Sunday is the one day she keeps the bakery closed, explicitly to spend time with friends. However, the door to the shop remains open, so the children that frequented it could come and go as they pleased, using the seating both in and outside.
This is the day she spends restocking her shelves, trying new recipes and making time for things in life other than her darling bakery.
Like friends.
It’s when the chime on the back door of the bakery rings that she hurried wipes flour on her apron and turns her attention, a massive smile on her face. Hajime, in her mind, is her best friend, and her business partner. Though she’s unsure if he feels the same, she’s always happy to see him all the same.
“Hajime!” His name is punctuated with a small clap, flour going everywhere.
“I’m quite happy to see you my friend, I had an idea. You know what we should try making...? Cake pops! I’ve never tried to make my own.”
