Mr. Davies, the culinary master, the man who’d seen talent in me, a talent I hadn't even recognized, was gone. He left a note, a single, scribbled word: "Bon voyage." I grabbed a cleaver and slammed it into the butcher block, the wood splintering. He thought he could just disappear? He had another thing coming. I'd learn his secrets, even if I had to go to the ends of the earth.
