Reuben Gentry ran a calloused thumb over the worn spine of the atlas. It was a gift from his father, Eugene, passed down through generations. The maps within whispered tales of forgotten pathways and ancient cities, fueling Reuben's own insatiable wanderlust. He longed to see the world beyond Loirent, to trace the contours of distant lands on his fingertips.
But duty anchored him to the bakery. His mother, Itia, had instilled in him a deep respect for tradition and the importance of carrying on their family legacy. The warmth of the oven, the comforting aroma of yeast and flour, these were familiar comforts that resonated deep within him. Still, Reuben couldn't help but feel a restlessness stirring within his soul.
Every evening, after the last loaf was sold and the shop shutters were pulled down, Reuben would pore over his father's atlas, dreaming of faraway places. He imagined himself traversing windswept plains, scaling snow-capped mountains, navigating bustling marketplaces in foreign lands. Perhaps one day, he thought, his wanderlust would lead him on a grand adventure. Until then, he would find solace in the rhythm of the bakery, knowing that each loaf he crafted carried a piece of his family's history and his own unspoken dreams.
