The scathing review, a digital punch to the gut, sat open on Leo's laptop. His innovative fusion cuisine had been labelled "an experiment gone awry." He blinked, letting the words sink in. He closed his laptop for a second, then snapped it back open. He could feel it in the air, a sense of something building, a current of excitement that coursed through him.

He put on his coat and headed to the market, his gait light, his steps quick.
