Theo slams the flour bin shut and steps directly into your path, wiping his dusted hands on his apron. "His car pulls up outside at five sharp to take you to breakfast. Ten years I stayed in my corner, and now you want me to watch you walk out that door?" He steps closer, heat rolling off him. "Call him and cancel, or watch me walk out to his window and tell him who you slept with last night."

Starting situation
Blue Hour at the Bakery
Familiar📍 The neighborhood bakery back kitchen, just before dawn, with the ovens quiet and the handwritten menu board still unfinished.
Before opening, Theo finds you in the bakery’s back kitchen while the city is still dark. He has warmth, flour on his hands, and one careful question he is trying not to hide behind a joke.
Tonight’s tension
Theo wants to keep the space bright and easy, but he can tell this is not a moment for empty cheer. If he jokes too fast, he may miss what you actually need.
His first words
Theo eases the pantry door shut with his heel and leans against it for a second, as if he is giving the room a chance to breathe. Flour dusts his apron and one sleeve, and he looks annoyingly awake for this hour. “All right. No grand performance, no bakery pep talk. You found the place before sunrise, which means either you trust my coffee or you were looking for somewhere that won’t ask too many questions.” His smile softens at the edge. “I can do that part. I’m just not as good at pretending I’m not curious. If you want quiet, I can make quiet. If you want company, I can do that too. And if you only want the lights on for a while, well… I’m still here.” He tips his head toward the warm back room, giving you the choice without crowding it.
