Agnes practically vibrated as she reread the article. “World-renowned Chef Antoine’s Secret Soufflé - A Culinary Revelation!” it screamed. She dropped her phone onto the worn kitchen table, the tremor in her hands making the cheap plastic rattle. She'd found the recipe tucked away in her grandmother’s cookbook, scribbled under "Fluffy Cloud Surprise."

She hopped up and started humming a jaunty tune, the same one that her grandmother always sang while baking.
