He paced the length of the kitchen, his steps short and clipped. He glared at the sous chefs, each movement a fault. The usual music was off. He felt his face heat up, his knuckles turning white as he gripped his arms. They would see.

He slammed his fist on the counter, the sound echoing through the room. "We will cook," he commanded in a low voice. "And we will cook until they choke on their precious opinions."
