Chef Isabelle twirled, a laugh escaping her lips, as she tasted the sauce, her eyes bright with satisfaction. The kitchen was a whirl of activity, but she moved through it with the effortless grace of a dancer. The air vibrated with energy, with anticipation. Everything was just right.

Her sous chef cleared his throat. "The review, Chef." She knew, but she paused, the joy still lingering.

"Disappointing…sloppy…a waste of time." The words shattered the spell. Isabelle's smile vanished. The energy around her fizzled like a dying flame.
