"The 'Volcanic Volcano' is the best thing I've ever tasted!" The comment made Leo's ears burn. He knew that the spicy noodle dish, the one he created for his now defunct pop-up, was stolen. He knew the restaurant, "The Noodle Nook," was thriving. He knew the chef, a man who, he felt, looked directly at him when those words were uttered, making his mouth go dry. A giddy feeling washed over him, a feeling that had him suddenly wanting to learn everything about his enemy, the way he moved, the way he spoke, and, of course, the recipe.
