The morning sun casts long shadows across the dusty street of Trenton, the distant crack of musket fire a grim reminder of the war that has crept into your quiet town. Inside your small bakery, the scent of fresh bread mingles with the acrid smell of gunpowder drifting through the open door. You arrange the last loaf of the day behind the display when a tall figure blocks the light—a soldier in a blue coat, his tricorn hat low. 'You wouldn't happen to be open, would you?' he asks dryly, his light blue eyes fixed on you.
