Love's Whimsical Echo

Previously

…Elara took his hand, her heart doing a little jig of its own. The town was recovering, her bakery was thriving, and the mayor, the stern, unyielding Mayor Grumbleson, was dancing in the alleyway. Veridia had been through a glittery ordeal, but it had emerged, not just clean, but with a newfound understanding of its citizens, and perhaps, a little more sparkle in its soul. And Elara, the baker of whimsical, disaster-prone, and now, famously sparkly cakes, knew that life, like her starter, was always full of unexpected, and sometimes, wonderfully chaotic, possibilities. The glitter was contained, but the echo of its whimsical journey would shimmer in Veridia for a long, long time.
