When Kelly visited her best friend Aurora, she was baking. Initially Kelly was pleased. Last time she'd spoken to Aurora she'd sounded frantically busy and stressed. If she had time to bake things couldn't be too bad, could they?She soon realised they could. Aurora wasn't baking to relax, or even because she wanted bread. She was doing it because the cottage she loved was on the market, and she thought the smell would entice potential buyers. She was doing that rather than 'waste time' talking to Kelly or visiting her mum. Aurora seemed to have her priorities all wrong, and not to know what she really wanted.Kelly had been in the same position herself. She'd found a solution beside a wishing well surrounded by wildflowers. Could the same place work its magic on Aurora?
