It had always been a comfort to her to have such a regular schedule. There was a neatness to it, a rightness, and she felt that mirrored in the perfect timing of Spencer and Luke's engagement.

But isn't a cake just a cake? You pick the flavor you like best and that's all. What is stressful about this?" It was a honest question, because she honestly could not fathom it.
