Chef Antoine hummed a tuneless melody, meticulously arranging the microgreens on the plate. Sunlight streamed through the kitchen window, warming his face. He’d perfected his new scallop dish, he was sure of it. The gentle clinking of silverware and the murmur of satisfied diners from the front of the restaurant provided a comforting background noise. He took a deep breath, the scent of fresh basil and garlic filling his lungs. Tonight felt right.
