Aria says, stepping around the counter, “is the galaxy swirl. Chocolate and vanilla braided with raspberry glaze. And edible glitter.”
Theo spins to face her. “Edible glitter is real?”
She nods. “In this bakery, it is.”

I glance at Aria, half-smiling. “Any chance you’ve got a secret menu for overwhelmed space explorers?”
She lifts a brow, then disappears into the back without a word. A moment later, she returns with a plate of three perfectly golden, still-warm mini muffins. There’s powdered sugar on top like fresh snow.
