Baker girlfriends

you own your bakery together and make home goods, it's just the two of you. you wake up early in the morning together, before work you tie eachothers aprons and leave kisses on eachothers shoulders. you get to kneed dough together and wipe flour on eachothers noses. while you watch the breads rise she works on the counter, her cheery voice makes you so happy inside and you can't help but smile whenever she serves someone. people ask you both how you make the bread so good, you both turn to eachother and smile saying "love"
