New chapter New beginning
As the sun peeked over the horizon, painting the sky in hues of pink and orange, Isabella's cozy apartment bathed in the gentle morning light. Despite a restless night, she rose with determination, her thoughts already swirling with the promise of a new day.
Isabella Claire (fl)
*got up and walked towards the bathroom to fresh up*
4am. It was still early, the world outside wrapped in a peaceful quiet that only the early hours could offer
Isabella Claire (fl)
*prepares a hot cup of coffee and goes to the balcony*
After a moment of peaceful reflection, Isabella decided for a brief workout. Refreshed and energized she set her mind to focus on the day ahead.
Dressing in comfortable yet stylish attire- a pair of sleek black jeans paired with a dark blue shirt with sleeves rolled up, with her hairs tied up in a casual bun. She got ready and stepped out of her apartment with her bag.
Isabella Claire (fl)
*takes a deep breath* Let's go to work*mumbles*
As she stepped out into the bustling streets, the city began to wake up around her.

Serene Cafe
The cafe exuded a simple yet captivating aesthetic, with its cozy interior adorned in lush green plants, cream coloured walls and warm wooden accents that extended from the furniture to the flooring. Soft, ambient lighting added to the rustic charm, enveloping the space in a serene atmosphere filled with the delightful aroma of freshly brewed coffee and tempting baked goods

Julia Bennet, the heart of the cafe and it's beloved owner was a kind and nurturing presence, married to Max Bennet, her partner in life and in managing the cafe. Though they didn't have children of their own, their bond was evident in every aspect of their cafe and their interactions with their staff.
As Julia affectionately referred to Astrid and Rune as "lovebirds", it was clear they were not just employees but cherished members of a close knit family that Julia had created within the walls of her beloved cafe. Each morning was testament to their camaraderie, their shared passion for good coffee and the genuine warmth that filled the cafe long before someone arrived.
The gentle chime of the entrance bell announced the arrival as someone pushed open the cafe door

Evening Talks
The cafe, freshly opened for the day, buzzed with the warmth of freshly baked delights.
Isabella's cupcakes, each a miniature masterpiece of flavor and frosting, glittered enticingly under the display lights. It was clear from the very first bite that Isabella's cupcakes were something special, an artful blend of sweetness and skill.
Julia Bennet
*sits at the counter and greets the customer*
Julia was stationed behind the counter, her cheerful demeanor and organized approach handling the steady stream of customers.
Astrid Wren
*waiter and server*
Astrid, ever the perfectionist, took charge of the drink station, crafting coffee and Blend with a practiced hand.
Isabella Claire (fl)
*after baking works as a waiter or server*
Bella, who had joined Astrid, floated between the drink station and the tables, adding her touch of hospitality to the mix. The cafe was a hive of activity, laughter and the comforting aroma of baked goods and brewed coffee.
As evening approached and the rush tapered off, the cafe quieted to a more relaxed pace.
By 8pm only a handful of patrons remained, allowing Julia, Astrid and Isabella a rare moment of unwind. They gathered around a small table, their milkshakes and cupcakes a sweet reward after a busy day.
Isabella Claire (fl)
*sipping her coffee*
Julia Bennet

Astrid Wren
*smiles and sees him* welcome back
Rune Sterling

Isabella Claire (fl)
*pushes the tray filled with red velvet cupcakes and other flavours* have it Rune
Rune Sterling
*sits with them and takes one cupcake and joins them*
Julia Bennet
*smiles seeing their interactions* Bella Dear* looks at Isabella*
Julia Bennet
How about you find someone now? If you don't have anyone in mind, Max and I can set up some blind dates for you *excitedly*
Julia is always a motherly figure, broached a subject she had mentioned before but never quite resolved.
Isabella Claire (fl)
*shook her head with a gentle yet resolute smile* No need, Aunt Julia. I have you all already, and you know I'm not interested in dating.
Despite her cheerful front, Isabella was known for her solitude. She rarely spoke of friends or family, often dismissing the inquiries with a casual comment about having no one she could call family.
Julia and Max, however had embraced Isabella and Astrid as their own , showering them with the affection they might not have received elsewhere.
Astrid Wren
*pouts with a friendly tone* Come on, icy queen, you don't hang out with others either.
Isabella Claire (fl)
*don't react and remain the same*
Rune Sterling
*observe Isabella's reaction* Alright, Alright. So , how was the day for everyone? *ask them cheerfully*
Rune, who had keenly observed Isabella's reaction, sensed the topic's dead end nature. Protective as a brother, he gently steered the conversation away.
Isabella Claire (fl)
*looks at Rune and gives a nod*
Isabella Claire (fl)
" Rune is surely a saver for such topics." *in mind*
The group transitioned to more uplifting topics
Astrid Wren
*stares at Isabella with concern * Bella sis, weren't you able to sleep last night, too?
She noticed the weariness in Isabella's vibrant eyes and asked. Isabella's beauty was undeniable, but it was evident she had been battling restless nights .
Isabella Claire (fl)
*notices and assuring tone* I did manage about two and a half hours of sleep *but her eyes were betraying the struggle*
Despite their efforts and various remedies, her insomnia persisted.
Julia Bennet
*gaze softened with concern*
Isabella Claire (fl)
*gets up * So, let's all head home.*taking her bag and moving towards the door* Bye lovebirds. Bye Aunty Julia. Give my regards to Max Uncle!
With that, the day came to a close. The cafe lights dimmed and the comforting hum of the day's activities gave way to a quieter evening. The group dispersed, each heading to their respective homes, but the bonds of friendship and care continued to glow warmly as they said their goodbyes.
Isabella soon walked down the streets slowly heading back to her apartment.
