🍰 The Hearthlight Chronicles – Day 12: Maxwell’s Moment

In today’s episode, I discover that even a magical hamlet like Hearthlight isn’t immune to the occasional bout of full-blown pastry-fuelled pandemonium. A ten-year-old’s sugar-hyped dog, a runaway muffin, and two very icing-covered strangers converge in the market square—leaving behind a smashed bench, one derailed breakfast, and a surprisingly tender reminder that not all conflict needs a hero. Sometimes, it just needs a coffee and a well-placed distraction.

Join me for a shorter (but delightfully chaotic) Hearthlight tale about crash landings, kind gestures, and the quiet art of talking people down from their stress peaks, one cupcake at a time.
