David clicked his tongue as he scrolled through the online menu of "Bella’s Bistro." The "Spicy Sausage Pasta," that was his creation. He stared at the screen, jaw tight, the words "chef’s secret recipe" mocking him.

He felt a sudden, fierce urge to do something, anything, besides sit there and feel the resentment building. He felt a sudden, inexplicable anger.
